Make up a normal person. Appreciate you bringing those issues to us. Separateperry did planned parenthood funding from medicaid funding. But i can tell you is that there was a departure from using medicaid funding at planned parenthood. Texas set up a separate fund which they used state moneys four. From all appearances the last legislative session and seem to be working quite well. It has been in the process. I will yield back the balance of my time. Mr. Collins we have long conversation before hand a lot of these issues. This is going to start on the path that we need to go. These are things that will get fixed as we go. I dont think the amendment of someone the rest into their sexual orientation. Ive heard that argument but i dont buy into it and it is very good the you brought it before us. Im happy to sit here for four hours listen to it. I think that that is a comment well said, we will stay here all day all night whatever it takes. Your support for you believe in and your repres
I will yield. Mr. Chairman we will have regular order when we have the Senate Passed these bills. They have got a rollover there. Bring up anyannot bill unless you have asked the votes, even in appropriations an appropriations bill. What happened to majority rule . If the senate would a bride abide by the rules and 11 be considered, we could break this cycle and no longer have these huge bills that a lot of people do not know what is in them. Mrs. Lowey again, i agree very much with of the chair man. When people talk to me about it, it spoke to a group on monday, i did my best to explain to them that it requires 60 votes to bring up the bill. So when a house is criticized for what we do or not do, we are given all that responsibility which is one reason i bring up article one, section seven, is that it is important for the public to understand that these bills must be passed to go to the president. And i believe it was the Ranking Member who pointed out that this was what has been done
His legislation is especially great for nevada. And well end our Energy Discussion learning his thoughts on the obama administrations clean power plan. 10 members, including my guest, congressman amodei and congresswoman titus have introduced the power efficiency and resiliency act. Currently some Energy Technologies qualify for large tax credits, and others do not. Solar energy and fuel cell technologies, for example, get a 30 credit. Now, the power act would increase the tax credit for combined heat and power and waste heat to Power Technologies for 10 to 30 . Now, congressman, i saw a companion bill in the senate from senators casey and collins. And i saw collins statement claiming that right now, quote, u. S. Utilities and factories send enough wasted energy in the form of heat up their chimneys to power all of japan for each year. And why its so important for nevada. Sure. Well, the power bill tries to incentivize businesses to utilize waste heat to power or combined heat to power

And continue to look at this to get answers and figure out what has happened here between you all and nhtsa, and also within what happened at gm.
