I thank the gentleman and appreciate the time. I would say that that is a good bill, and I am glad to have been an original cosponsor with the gentleman from North Carolina on the bill related to making sure that families are not…

But from what I understand--you correct me if I am wrong--our LNG resources can reach worldwide and be pretty competitive wherever we go.

DOE, earlier this year, announced a project in conjunction with Virginia Tech in my district to investigate the resources--the resource potential for reservoirs in the Nora Gas Field in southwest Virginia.

I represent a coal district like Mr. McKinley does as well--obviously, you know, it doesn't make sense very often unless you need some good high-quality, as they called it this morning, coking coal.

Eliminating their analysis would have zero impact on the budget.

Those 12 folks who were working at your facility in Bristol, Virginia, they don't think that this tax cuts and jobs bill was just crumbs for them, do they?

That tells me the economy is percolating and things are good.

Tax reform, tax cuts, it has started to show benefits in my district in southwest Virginia.

It is an extremely important in an area that has been economically hit hard by the previous administration and by policies that have not looked out for folks in more rural, in areas that have a coal-based economy.

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 3, strike lines 3 through 6, and insert the following: ``(i) the chemical structure and-- ``(I) the…

We should have an NSR program that presents clear standards for when reviews are necessary.

I am not going to tell Mr. Bassett it can't be done. We need to change this rule and I appreciate your help in that regard.

And whether we are dealing with manufacturing or we are dealing with electric generation or refining, we actually want those people to be more reliable, don't we?

How much cleaner would the air be if we'd have had reasonable rules in place from the get-go?
