Joe Barton: “We have a hearing upstairs where apparently everybody at EPA is on vacation.”

May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

If we did that and went to a pure market for ethanol, it would work.

But I also think I speak for the majority and the minority that we hope that this is something that can move reasonably expeditiously and that means actually end up in a bill the President signs in this Congress.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank you, sir, for appearing voluntarily without subpoena and standing or sitting there all by yourself.
