On the recordMay 10, 1995
I would take back my time, Mr. Chairman, and point out that the gentleman is so right, this was supposed to be guidelines. However, the EPA is using this and interpreting it as a basis for forcing the States to comply. It is one more example of something that is supposed to be an EPA guideline, but ends up really having the force of an unfunded mandate, and that is another reason why we should defeat this amendment.
