AMERICAN CLEAN ENERGY AND SECURITY ACT OF 2009 -- (House of Representatives - June 26, 2009)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 2454.

I want to commend Chairman Waxman, Chairman Rangel, Mr. Barton, Chairman Peterson, Chairman Markey, Mr. Dingell, and all of those who have worked so hard to reach compromises which help to make this legislation possible. Especially do I want to commend Representative BOBBY RUSH for his hard work to protect low-income consumers, Representative Butterfield for making sure that Historically Black Colleges and Universities and predominantly black institutions had an opportunity to be involved in the research and job creation.

And I also want to thank Representatives JAN SCHAKOWSKY and DONNA CHRISTENSEN for their hard work on environmental issues to help reduce health disparities. It's a good bill, Mr. Speaker, and I urge all of my colleagues to vote in favor of it.
