May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio has 3 minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

This bill does not prevent the EPA from finalizing a rule. It only tells the EPA that it cannot mandate a specific technology and prevents the EPA from issuing rules that limit a vehicle's availability based on engine type. Madam Speaker…

We actually agree on some things with our Democrat colleagues. We agree that we ought to keep the environment clean: the air, water, and land. But throwing money at it, like my Democrat colleagues are trying to do, is not the answer to the…

I have tremendous respect for my colleague that just spoke, but I have to say that this idea that electric vehicles are emission-free is totally unfounded. In fact, it is totally false. All you have to do is look at where the raw materials…

That was my closing, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate on the bill has expired. Amendment No. 1 Offered by Mr. Johnson of Ohio The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider…

I rise as the designee of the gentlewoman from Washington, and I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 4, strike lines 1 through 6, and…

The purpose of the CARS Act is to permit Americans, not the executive branch of the Federal Government, to continue deciding what type of car makes the most sense for them. The purpose is not to reopen decades-old requirements that…

I would urge you to place an even higher emphasis on a priority to stop impoverishing working families through higher energy costs.

Let me State this clearly. The city of Chicago cannot go on welcoming new arrivals safely and capably without significant support and immigration policy changes.

Today I rise in support of H.R. 4470, and I urge all Members to support this important legislation. Keeping our American homeland secure has been a part of my life for over four decades. Though the threats to our Nation have changed since…

While this extension gives time for not only more assessment and for CFATS to demonstrate its progress, I would urge you to see past this as a time to take this program hostage or distract from its security-related, terrorism prevention…

Our veterans deserve the SERV Act, and I ask that you vote yes on the SERV Act.

For many Americans, this is pushing them toward vehicles that they cannot afford and into vehicles that don't make sense, especially for rural Americans like those in my district.

Ultimately, this forced EV transition will disproportionately burden working-class Americans.

Americans deserve to have the choice to decide what mode of transportation suits them best.

Since when is the United States of America following China's lead?

And one of my concerns is that EPA is driving us down a road where we are going to be dependent upon Chinese cars--not just the minerals, not just the raw materials, not just the processing, but also the cars themselves.

At the end of the day, this is a national security discussion.

That is a decision that belongs in this committee, the Energy and Commerce Committee.

We can't let California and the Biden administration ban combustion engines, and Preserving People's Freedom to Buy Affordable Vehicles and Fuel Act is the way to stop it.

It is the American taxpayer who will pay for this so-called transition.

I am encouraged that the EPA decided to pull back on the eRINs program from the final set proposal...

Congress never directed California to dictate America's vehicle emissions and also did not authorize the EPA to force vehicles that the agency does not like off the road.

It is not China. China continues to increase their carbon emissions.

I don't agree for a moment, and this proposed rule is an affront to representative government.
