Jim Inhofe

Well, let me just, in my final few seconds here, remind this panel up here that they tried to do this through legislation 6 years ago.

OK, now, that is interesting. You are saying they actually have a written communication to that effect?

I will do everything within my power to expose these abuses so my colleagues--including the seven Senators who wrote a letter to EPA instead of voting for S. 1140--are no longer fooled by EPA's assurances.

I want to thank Senator Sullivan for holding this very important hearing.

Is there a motion to report S. 2816, S. 1479, S. 921, S. 2754, as amended, and H.R. 3114, the GSA resolutions and the nomination of Jane Nishida, en bloc?

I just want to respond to Senator Sullivan. We are going to be sitting down with them, all collectively, to make sure we get something done on this.

What Senator Gillibrand is asking for, demanding, has not received a satisfactory response, in my opinion, and that is why I support her amendment.

I know the sincerity, the concern that you have. You have expressed that.

I want to say you mentioned brownfields. Of course, that is one of the things we are acting on right now.

I anticipate we are going to have a big crowd that is going to make sure that history doesn't repeat itself

When we make it safe, we make it acceptable.

We are the committee that does things.

And particularly those critters, because they teach them to clap, and they show and demonstrate affection.

There are some areas other than the East Coast and Alaska that have beaches.

I am just as concerned about this as you are, and we will be working with you, and we are going to see this thing through.

Well, thank you, Senator Cardin.

And the legislation is reported favorably to the Senate.

Without objection, so ordered.

I wouldn't say 'containment,' I would say 'destruction' of ISIL wherever it emerges is the right strategy.

I think if we say that we had a strategy to contain ISIL, that the strategy didn't work, that we are not containing ISIL.

We did correct it. We got busy, set goals and priorities as to when we would be coming in and what we were supposed to be doing.

If someone has a suggestion as to how we can figure out a way to pay the existing nuclear fleet $42.50 per equivalent of voided ton of carbon, I am down for that.

I would agree with that.

Let me assure you that while we enjoy this bill, we are co-sponsoring the bill, it has nothing to do with global warming.

I think further reductions of staffing are appropriate, and I think the involvement of this committee in oversight is welcome.
