Joaquin Castro said "Regarding Mr. Perry's amendment, if the United States does not choose to lead on the issue of climate change, we can't outcompete China or expect the world to join us in countering China's policies. To compete, we must lead the world forward, and we must face reality and be willing to enact policies that deal with reality. This amendment is about taking America backward, and so I ask my colleagues to oppose it. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
