I want to go back basically to the money question here, the suggestion that somehow, some way, President Obama, who has a right to express an opinion, muscled you and the Commission into doing something that you did not want to do.

At the heart of this issue are two questions: First, is climate change real? Is it a threat to our economy, to jobs, to our environment, and to our security? Speaking for Vermont, climate change is real. In the past 5 years, Vermont has…

I thank the gentlelady. One of the big challenges that this institution faces is to restore its credibility with the American people. This process that we have gone through, where, at the end of the negotiations between our House and…

Again, it is a combination of humility and pride when we hear about the lives of these brave young Americans. That is the second wonderful person from Missouri, but all of us, in our States, have people that have served America this way…

I support this legislation. At this time, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from California, Representative Hahn, the sponsor of this legislation.
