I appreciate her leadership on this as well.

When it comes to dust, the EPA and the Federal Government should not mandate a one-size-fits-all standard that could eventually lead to lost production.

With the Federal Government's nose now under the tent of insurers, so to speak, it is my hope that the FIO will not engage in mission creep and instead adhere to the limited mission that Congress intended it to serve.

I am not here to say that we don't need any regulations. I am not saying that at all.

the government is borrowing 40 cents on every dollar it spends and therefore has fewer resources to do proper regulation.

The importance of getting the SEF rulemaking correct cannot be understated.

These proposed rules would limit market efficiency and lead to negative consequences for farmers, manufacturers, small businesses, financial institutions, and pension funds.

It sounds like to me, in the last 15 years, this has provided a real improvement to what you all do.

I am grateful for your commitment to reforming and strengthening the Section 8 Voucher Program.

The best way that we can help the homeowner in the 5th District of Virginia, my district, and across the country stave off foreclosures is with a job.

Thank you for holding another important hearing in the subcommittee to conduct oversight of the Obama Administration's response to the housing crisis.
