I thank the gentleman from Virginia for bringing these concerns to my attention. I agree that we must assure that Federal agencies and regulations are not contributing to unnecessary delays that harm economic development and job creation, especially at a time of economic distress and high employment. I pledge our committee pledges to work with the gentleman and others who have seen an overreaching regulatory process negatively affect job prospects in their districts to address these problems. With that, Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
