Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, I appreciate Congressman Reed and what he is trying to do here. I think this makes a lot of sense. His amendment asks agencies to consider the effects of regulatory action upon private property owners. The amendment furthers the bill's intent to provide more input from private sector entities and taxpayers affected by these regulations. It thinks of farms and other types of public land issues that we deal with, particularly out West, but across the Nation. Federal regulators should consider the effects of any regulation on private property owners. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.”
