Joe Barton: “I think it is timely that these two bills, especially the first bill, H.R. 4273, have been put into play”

I think it is a measure of President George H.W. Bush that we all think of him as a personal friend. It is literally true that he had tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of men and women who considered themselves personal…

I am a little bit skeptical if we are doing this simply because we don't like natural gas power, we don't like coal power, we don't like nuclear power, because that would be an added cost that somebody's got to bear.

It is always good to have hearings like this to try to, through bipartisan basis, get facts on the table.

It's obvious that, to me, anyway, this program is being abused.
