It would completely destroy the economy of the city of Welch and the entire region.

We brought it to you and said, 'How can you best--what can we do to improve on this legislation?'

What can we do to continue that and use that in other places around the country?

The more fly ash we can put into it means we can pour more concrete as a result of it.

Members of Congress, Congressman McKinley, thank you for listening, thank you for championing brownfields.

We have a moral obligation to consider the future of the communities and the people that live in Welch, Gillette, Petersburg, and Harlan.

I wish you some tremendous success in driving the Formosa Plastics out of Louisiana.

These men and women have trusted Congress to protect their livelihood over the years. We should not betray their trust.

the idea that by 2050 we are going to have 100 percent renewable system is not realistic.

the ethanol production and blending has gone up to record highs, so even when these exemptions have been granted that they say were so sinister in the last 2 years plus.

I don't think even by 2050 we are going to be ready. The devastation it's going to do to our country is incredible.

We have to find a replacement for lithium.

I think this whole concept of 100 percent renewables by 2050 is interesting. But I think it is delusional to think that in some aspects that we are ever going to achieve that.

I want to--what are ways that we can provide some additional funding or something for nonopioid rehabilitation treatment?

I love the idea. I think it is--for an engineer I think it is fabulous to be able to have this kind of aspirational goal where we might go with this.

I think we virtually owe you an apology for the way you have been treated here.

I think we should be spending more time, instead of passing legislation like this, putting more money into research to find out how we can do, how we can actually achieve this.

We cannot begin to understand the grief and anger the families of those killed at the Clarksburg VA Medical Center have felt this last year.

I was proud to support the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017, which was signed into law on June 23, 2017.
