It started out as a partnership. Historically it has been a partnership, and the concern is that that partnership is going to be disturbed.

I agree, Mr. Markey, that without question, we need to move forward and to improve the electric utility system of this country.

This thing is too important not to get right.

I could never have conceived of such a thing. And the fact that Kiwash Electric, my home electric cooperative in Oklahoma, could ever be considered a swaps dealer or in danger of being labeled as a swaps dealer I thought was nuts.

They consider the House legislation the end. And we have been trying to explain to them, this is only the beginning.

The more than 300,000 rural electric co-op customers in my state are at risk of unacceptable rate hikes.

If we don't transition and help them get over that... we would be incredibly disadvantaged.

So I guess my common sense question is, does it make sense to go forward with this legislation at all if what we are in the end accomplishing is simply transferring to countries elsewhere in the world, who I don't think have any intention…

I would have a very difficult time, Congressman Lucas, explaining to the folks back in my district, the Sixth District years ago, as to how I could agree to vote to give away allowances that would keep their electric bills less than what…

If you had credits for nuclear power, why, we could raise the capital to build nuclear plants like France has done...

That is fairness, that is what is right, and I think that is what most citizens in this country expect to be done.

What we are putting forward in this resolution is not an endorsement of a particular tax system. What we are doing is putting the WTO on record that we want to change the standard, that we are going to insist on changing the standard. We…

I recognize that as a very important parting shot, because that provides, I think, a greater level of protection and transparency by requiring any changes go through congressional oversight and the full legislative process. I thank the…

I believe they have been examined with a fine degree of concern, particularly for their impact on the manufacturing and agricultural sectors. I feel very strongly that what we have here is the best kind of treaty that we can have to expand…

Can the administration add products to the ISI list as it sees fit without congressional approval and oversight?

Unlike any of the speakers on the other side, I was also in the room. I saw what was said. I saw what was implied. And I saw the behavior of the chairman close up. May I say what is embarrassing the House today is not the behavior of the…

Let me say I appreciate the remarks of the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Bryant). Judging from his remarks, he would concede that we have managed to build a bipartisan product based on a Republican budget that set aside $40 billion to…

I have been very concerned, Mr. Speaker, about our trade balance in this country. I have been very concerned about the competitiveness of American jobs. I have been very involved in working with the steel industry to address the problem of…

The American tax system looms like a Frankenstein's monster that terrorizes individual taxpayers while casting a cold shadow over the productive sectors of the U.S. economy. It is too complicated and riddled with obvious inequities, it…
