I second the chairwoman's commitment to working with the Senators from Wyoming to fix this problem in the technical corrections bill. It is important that we find a way to address the issue as soon as possible, and I will work with them to…
It is true, I say through the Chair. It passed this institution with 74 votes, as I recall.
I understand there is 1 minute remaining, so let me just clarify a couple things. First of all, several have made comments about the Clean Air Act. I was supportive of the Clean Air Act. It has done a great job, and I think that should be…
I understand our time has expired. I ask unanimous consent that Senator Kyl have 2 minutes. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The question was asked by the Senator from California: Whom do we trust most, elected Senators or unelected bureaucrats? I yield 3 minutes to the Senator from Kentucky. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Kentucky.
I wish to yield 5 minutes to the Senator from Missouri, Mr. Blunt. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Missouri.
I heard the Senator from California talk about 78 percent of the people in this country want to reduce mercury. I am part of that 78 percent. The problem is this bill does not address that. By their own numbers, the EPA said the cost is…
I like that. Madam President, I yield to the Senator from South Dakota for 7 minutes. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from South Dakota.
It is our understanding we have approximately 42 minutes apiece and that we will go back and forth.
I thank the Senator from Alaska for her very kind remarks. I yield 5 minutes to the Senator from Texas, Mr. Cornyn.

Simply put, Communist China needs to receive a clear message from the U.S. and other peace-seeking nations that China's continued harassment, and expansive administrative and military actions in this region, and specifically in the South…
It is my understanding that we would have our three speakers after that, but not necessarily restricted to 5 minutes. It will not be much more than that. But since our speakers will be speaking in these three sessions, I would like a…
Ironically, this hearing comes at a time when President Obama's top environmental team is in Rio.
They are working to stop hydraulic fracturing through 13 Federal agencies and have attempted to implement their agenda to 'crucify' American energy producers.
EPA's decision to include Wise County as ozone non-attainment is not based on good science.
I have said several times, you can't get one cubic foot of natural gas out of a tight formation without using this process that has been safe since 1949.
The statements that I just now made, quoting the Region 6, Region 1, and some of the others who have made about the oil and gas industry, is that just them or is that--would you in your position refute that as a policy of the EPA?
That is of particular interest to me, since my State of Oklahoma is downwind from Wise County.
Oil and gas production in America is increasing despite the Obama administration's best efforts to shut down domestic energy production in favor of their radical green agenda.
I am pleased to announce today that I, along with Senators Vitter, Boozman, Coburn, Cornyn, and Hutchison, that is every Republican member that is in the Region 6, we have a letter sent formally to request that the EPA Inspector General…
Today's hearing to review EPA's air rules highlights the ongoing war being waged by the Obama administration against fossil fuels and the development of America's abundant domestic energy resources.

Let me just say it one more time, because I think it has been repeated by Senator Barrasso, but I think it is important...
Politicians like Jim Inhofe
