                               REINS ACT

  (Mr. DAINES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAINES. Mr. Speaker, earlier this week I held a tele-townhall 
meeting and had the opportunity to talk with several thousand Montanans 
about the House's efforts to bring needed accountability to Washington 
and the regulatory burdens that are hurting Montana families and job 
creators.
  Montanans are tired and frustrated by the EPA's ever-changing rules 
and unreasonable compliance costs. The status quo is not acceptable. 
That's why I'm proud to have voted in support of the REINS Act, which 
will bring much needed accountability to the regulatory process.
  This isn't a Republican issue or a Democrat issue. This is about 
doing the right thing for the American people and the future of our 
country.
  It's time to rein in Washington's overbearing, costly regulations and 
provide Montana families, business owners, and hardworking taxpayers 
with the relief they deserve.
