Jim Inhofe: “Or another first-degree amendment. That is fine. In opposition to this amendment, though.”

Senators Vitter, Crapo, Alexander, and I sent a letter to Senator Lautenberg yesterday expressing our disappointment that Republicans' sincere effort to work on a bipartisan TSCA reform had been rebuffed.

It is imperative that any TSCA modernization efforts be bipartisan, based on sound science, protective of public health, and continue to allow American industry to lead the world through responsible innovation.

I want to thank Mr. Johnson for his comments. It has been a mission of love all these years.

Yes, I think it has.
