BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a member of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, to voice my support of the HONEST Act. This legislation gives independent scientists a fair chance to validate the studies EPA uses to make regulations. As someone who has made a career in science, I know that determining anything less is unwise and unscientific.

Whether you are studying a new oncology drug or EPA regulations, transparency and the ability to reproduce and share these findings are some of the basic tenets of science. Costly regulations that impact American citizens and Kansas farmers should be based upon data that is available to independent scientists and the public.

Let's continue to be a voice for the people with sound, transparent, scientific regulatory policy.
