Madam Chair, the administration has demonstrated that one of its top priorities is the research and necessary regulation of PFAS. Its ongoing commitment to public safety is responsible. Congress should allow the EPA to complete its work before casting such a wide net on labeling 5,000-plus PFAS as hazardous. This is an opportunity for Congress to be proactive rather than reactive. I invite Members to join me in supporting thoughtful action to ensure the safety of the American public and our environment. Madam Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote on my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Balderson). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
