Orrin Hatch

Should we not say 'shift,' if it appears that the coal, oil, and gas States would lose a significant amount of jobs?

Well, I am very interested in how a cap-and-trade program would affect the poor.

The increases in the price of energy caused by the program would reduce workers' real wages.

I appreciate your courtesy in doing that.

The cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide emissions would reduce the number of jobs in industries that produce carbon-based energy.

I know it is the pattern that the Chairman and the Ranking Member give the opening statement and we do not.

I believe that the essence of capitalism in our free market system is competition.

I have as of yet seen little evidence to justify a complete repeal of the antitrust exemption for the insurance industry.

I believe our antitrust laws, if properly and vigorously enforced, enhance this fundamental element of our economic system.

I remain open to considering any reform measures that will promote competition in the insurance sector.

It follows, Mr. Chairman, that the voices of those stakeholders most impacted by legislation should be given the greatest weight.

It is true that all Americans are stakeholders in the management of our federal lands.

We want good wilderness, but we want to do it the right way, and this is certainly not the right way.

I think as a congressional delegation we have proven we can handle the question of wilderness in Utah.

Well, there may be some truth to that point of view, but it is an intentionally simplistic view.

We have done our very God-level best to try and make sure these laws have the strength in them to be able to be implemented.

I was the prime sponsor of that legislation with former Senator Biden.

This would, 'give us new tools to more quickly and effectively classify new steroids as controlled substances.'

If we had premarket approval the whole industry would be gone and we would all be bereft of what really are very, very good vitamins and minerals, amino acids, and herbal products.

It is inexcusable that we permit any of these anabolic steroids to be on the market.

But the laws are certainly clear that these type of products are illegal.

A supplemental PMA, which is required for any change of any kind, is required to be approved by FDA, using the same standards of safety and effectiveness as the original PMA.

I've had extensive experience with the FDA, and they don't miss much.

I'm really glad you did what you did, and I'm glad you've had that result.

One thing that I think needs to be made clear is that everybody here wants to see people who are injured be fairly compensated when they suffer injuries resulting from another person's negligence.
