What we need to be debating is what we should be doing about it.

Today's hearing is critical to our understanding of the success and the lack of success of the environmental groups across the Country.

Thank you, Senator Capito.

I look forward to receiving additional State responses and to hear more from our witnesses today as we take a hard look at what works and what does not work.

But expecting that and knowing that are two different things.

Congress and, in particular, this Committee must check in with States to ensure this system is fully functioning when it comes to actions initiated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA.

I think every national lab, our U.S. military, NOAA and NASA, and every single one of our lead home State universities would have found that an easy question to answer with a plain and simple yes.

I think it is a terrible thing to do, and I have shown that through my whole career.

I do believe that the science would indicate that our climate is changing.

I am very happy to see all of you here.

I think we all know we do not have enough F-22's.

You know, I just wish that the general public could hear what you have been saying.
