Administrator Pruitt on May 9 issued a memo implying that EPA might consider costs when setting NAAQS standards despite settled Supreme Court precedent.

The decision to increase hazardous air pollutants, carcinogens, and neurotoxins is completely irresponsible.

But it is clearly not true.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia will be postponed. Amendment No. 19 Offered by Mr. Smith of Texas The Acting CHAIR…

I simply add that we are not cutting the fossil fuel research and development, which we do believe in. This is a plus-up from last year of at least $30 million and 50 percent more than President Trump has requested. All we are simply doing…

There is virtually nothing my friend from West Virginia said that I disagree with, except the idea that we are somehow taking money from fossil fuel research that is untoward. Just remember, this is a $30 million step up from last year and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 24, line 3, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $28,310,000)''. Page 30, line 7, after the…

Instead of listening to those in the universe of the world of energy grids and despite knowing what this would cost the American public, the Trump Administration is still moving ahead perhaps unfortunately likely because someone…

This bailout plan does not actually help coal country. This is a short-term talking point that does nothing to create good-paying jobs, resilient jobs for the families in Appalachian.

I would suggest, though, as a member of this committee, that moving forward with this new proposal, if it's going to devastate U.S. manufacturing, if it's going to add way more than $8 billion to the electricity cost of our American…

The President himself has still not acknowledged the death toll, which we now understand to be higher than those lost on 9/11. This is his Katrina.

I led with 36 of my colleagues asking that Secretary Perry and the Trump Administration cease the false narrative that bailing out uneconomic energy sources in competitive markets is needed for electrical grid resilience.

The CX provisions in these bills have a major flaw, a logical flaw, that the 5-mile radius, when you do p R 2, it ends up being 78 square miles where BLM wouldn't have any opportunity to review critical areas and resources.

I have served in the Virginia senate for 8 years and noticed that virtually every business legislation we passed there was to restrict entry to the businesses we were already in.

You know, there have been lots of anxiety the last couple of elections--and not just 2016--2004, 2008 about the security of voting machines, and there's a move to online voting but only if it's secure.

I strongly believe, just based on this committee's interest, that America should take the lead on blockchain innovation research.

I very much empathize with the problems of your company. I'm an automobile dealer, so counterfeit parts have plagued me for more than 4 decades.

It's clear the military gets space weather, and back in 1967 it was sort of a wake-up call.

Being able to know and recognize space weather for what it is is absolutely critical from the point of view of our military preparedness.

On the one hand, the previous question, we want a--we keep hearing again and again that the National Science Foundation is able to award an ever-smaller percentage of its excellent proposals with money.

Vigilance against espionage threats is important on all fronts from cybersecurity breaches to intelligence gathering by covert operatives on the ground.

Balancing legitimate security risks with international scientific cooperation is critical to ensure that we address real risks appropriately and thoroughly while not diminishing the benefits we have obtained by opening our doors to foreign…

There's an old political idiom that nothing happens in politics unless you tell somebody about it.

I want to thank all of you for being willing to come into a public forum on the Ides of March. You're very brave.
