gentleman is trying to do.
so with that i reserve the
balance of my time.
the chair: the gentleman
reserves.
the gentleman from new jersey
is recognized.
mr. holt: thank you, mr.
chairman.
the whole point of the
underlying bill is to make it
impossible for the department
of the interior, the bureau of
land management, the secretary
of the interior to impose
regulations.
it says if the state has any
regulations, then the federal
egulations don't count.
all this amendment would do is
on the important issue of
fugitive methane, leaked
methane, methane that get into
the atmosphere by whatever
means because of the drilling
and fracking, should be
limited.
