“let me assure my good friend, the gentleman from Georgia, that after the hue and cry and the celebrations this Earth Day, many committed conservatives will stand there to clean up the mess left by so many so-called environmentalists. It is interesting to hear the lines provided today, Mr. Speaker, from our friends on the liberal side, their carefully crafted scripts engaging in playground taunts. Let me state unequivocally and for the record that the new majority is in favor of clean air and clean water, and yes, restoring balance to our laws, recognizing that Phoenix is not the same as Philadelphia, or that Flagstaff is not the same as Fargo, ND, and relying on people on the front lines to solve their problems in the 50 States where there are departments of environmental quality, and in the communities, understanding that there are differences. The key to solving the problem, Mr. Speaker, resides with the American people, not with the Washington bureaucrats, and no amount of name-calling can change that fact.”
