 TODAY MARKS THE GROUNDHOG'S SHADOW AND THE SHADOW OF REGULATORY REFORM

  (Mr. MICA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, this morning in Punxsutawney, PA, a groundhog 
poked its head out of its hole, saw his shadow, and quickly hid for 6 
more weeks of winter.
  Today my colleagues in Congress will rear their heads out of their 
offices to find the shadow of regulatory reform at their doorstep. As 
we debate the EPA elevation bill, will they duck the issue and slide 
back into their foxholes? Will you, my colleagues, let a little light 
shine on the issue of risk assessment and allow debate on this 
important issue in the House of Representatives? Or will you dart back 
into the darkness and cast a long shadow over the States, cities, 
businesses, agriculture, and industry?
  Vote today to end the cold winter at EPA. Vote today to defeat the 
rule. Vote today to lift the shadow of Government at EPA and bring a 
little sunshine into the process.
