           INTRODUCTION OF THE CLEAN AIR STRONG ECONOMIES ACT

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, EPA will soon propose a new lower ozone 
standard. We have made important gains in air quality, but this new 
proposal is so low that most of America, including all but five 
national parks, will be out of compliance.
  This new rule will mean lost jobs and lost opportunities. It means no 
new permits for Mom and Pop and their American Dream. They will 
struggle to grow. That is why tomorrow Bob Latta of Ohio and I are 
introducing the Clean Air Strong Economies Act. This commonsense bill 
requires EPA to protect health and consider whether a new rule can be 
met.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to help us balance clean air with a 
strong economy and American jobs.
