bilbray: thank you, madam chair. let me just close by saying to my colleague, all we're asking for is to put some good data behind this. let's study, let's have the e.p.a. take a look at this, let's see what the affects are on our energy and ---intensive industries because this is an issue we're going to have to deal with eventually and we want to have good data behind it. let's have the agency study this and let's work together to find solutions to protect our industries while we clean up our environment for our kids and our grandkids. with that, madam speaker, i will yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. all time for debate has expired. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. doyle. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. the amendment is not -- the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. doyle: i request the yeas and nays. the chair: does the gentleman request a recorded vo
