            COSTLY EPA REGULATIONS WILL HARM AMERICAN PEOPLE

  (Mr. NEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I will tell my colleagues somebody that is 
working in overdrive is the head of the U.S. EPA. Unfortunately, it is 
not working for us. She is making a policy decision that will directly 
affect the lives of millions of working families, all without basing 
them on sound science and in-depth research into the effects of these 
regulations on working people in our country. We cannot let this 
happen.
  Therefore, I am hosting a statewide conference in Columbus, OH, on 
Monday, April 14. The purpose is to fight the new irrational air 
proposals by the U.S. EPA. I will be joined by the Governor of the 
State; the head of the Ohio EPA, Don Schregardus; George Wolff, who is 
head of the U.S. EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee; and 
members of the Ohio legislature. The purpose: To tell the truth about 
these costly environmental regulations that will do great harm to 
America's working families, without any health care benefits.
  This is a bipartisan conference supported by Republicans and 
Democrats all over Ohio who are concerned about the punitive, callous, 
mean-spirited actions of EPA Administrator Carol Browner directed at 
the people least able to pay, our working families; we have to stop 
this now.
