barton. >> well, thank you, mr. chairman, and welcome, again, ma'am administrator. it's good to have you with us. there are many things that are ailing our country right now, madam administrator, and it seems that your agency appears to be at ground zero of a fair number of them. since president obama took office and you became the administrator of the environmental protection agency, the e.p.a. has rushed to issue rules on greenhouse gases which the congress rejected in the last congress, ozone which our president just rejected several weeks ago, coal ash, boiler ash and our boiler mack and cement industries which those industries are strenuously objecting to. in my own state of texas, last year the e.p.a. revoked the flexible air quality permit rules that had been in place for almost 20 years, starting with president clinton, and just recently the e.p.a. announced a cross-state air pollution rule where texas which wasn't even included in the rule six months ago is expected to assume somewhere between 25% and 40% of the reductions. this is somewhere puzzling since

host: at the table is congressman joe barton of texas, a republican. this seems to be a day with a big story is jobs. the fed chairman is making a speech about the economy. the super committee is getting underway. the aftermath of last night's debate. i will star with a discussion among two donors about which state has a better record on job creation. let's listen in. >> governor romney left the private sector and did a great job of creating jobs. when he moved that experience to government, he had one of the lowest job creation rates in the country. he had a good private sector record. his public sector record did not match that. we created more jobs in the last three months in taxes than he created in four years. >> texas is a great state. come tax. zero intere texas has oil in the ground. he did not create that. it would be like al gore saying he created the internet. guest: we still like to work in texas. we do have a lot of natural resources. we don't have a state income tax and we are proud of that. we're located in the trade corridor between mex

barton. >> thank you. i think this is a litmus test of how this subcommittee will work together to investigate something that obviously needs to be investigated. i was gratified to hear the ranking member's request that the record include all the documents that have been discovered so far. at the beginning of this investigation, my friends cannot give this document. i support loan guarantee programs. i do not support the process. the credit committee played against it. after president obama had been sworn in, they approved the identical loan commitment with no intervening improvement. a staff member said this will run out of cash in september 2011. they declared bankruptcy last week. i look forward to the testimony of these officials. i look forward next week to the testimony of the members of the company. i strongly support all working together to pursue this investigation on a bipartisan basis. >> thank you. i yield the balance of the time. >> thank you. >> i do want to take a moment to point out that th
