                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2020

  Mr. COX of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to correct my vote 
on Amendment No. 62 to H.R. 7608 offered by Mr. Tonko and Ms. Blunt 
Rochester. This amendment blocks the EPA from finalizing, implementing, 
or enforcing its proposed rule on the National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards, which does nothing to strengthen existing air quality 
regulations. On Friday, July 24, I recorded a vote of Nay. However, I 
wish to clarify that I support the amendment and continue to strongly 
support efforts to improve air quality in California's Central Valley 
and across our nation.
