Jim Inhofe

I call for the United Nations and the French and the Ouattaran forces to halt the immediate death squads, still roving--it's happening right now--around the streets in Abidjan, killing people out in the streets.

I call for an independent investigation into all atrocities committed by all military forces involved in the fighting in Cote d'Ivoire.

I question why the French participated in this battle.

I condemned the use of so-called peacekeeping forces, made up of the United Nations, and the French forces, which attacked the city of Abidjan.

That's not true. And I want to show you it's not true.

It is my understanding that I have 10 minutes as in morning business. I ask unanimous consent to use that time now. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.

This is a classic bait-and-switch--a tactic which this President and this EPA are making routine practice.

I do appreciate today's hearing. But today I call on you, Senator Carper, and Senator Boxer, to fulfill this committee's oversight obligations by taking an in-depth look at EPA's 'Train Wreck' and what it will mean for jobs, energy…

In this context there is great irony in the President's call to strip the program of all funding for the upcoming fiscal year.

Our ALCs are suffering from a lack of spare parts; A missing or delayed part creates delays, drives up costs, and impacts readiness;

He has been the very best.

Avoid adding any additional regulatory burden to the next bill.

I would respectfully disagree with Ms. Thomas in some of these areas because one of the problems we have had...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I want my colleagues to listen to him.

The Federal red taps is using up a lot of the money that could be used for bricks and mortar.

I share his concerns. After much effort and cost, Oklahoma currently has no 'nonattainment' areas.

We have the money set aside to be able to do that.

This is a real serious problem that we have, and we have some ideas on what we want to do to correct this problem.

Our problem is we are not developing our own resources. It is a political problem.

I was first elected to the State Legislature in 1965. That was the same year that Gary Ridley came to the Department of Transportation in the State of Oklahoma.

We can deliver projects dramatically faster than we currently do while still protecting the environment.

I authored the bill that would give us, I think for lack of a better term, a policy of this country to try to eradicate this monster.
