I'll just reiterate that this is a bad amendment to a bad bill. It basically puts the interests of special industry--the gas and oil industry, particularly--above the American public's health, clean air, and the environment. If you want to have an Earth that we can give to the next generation that's in as good a shape so that their lungs can survive in it, you won't be for this type of regulation, this amendment, or for this bill. I ask us to vote ``no,'' and I yield back the balance of my time.
