jackson lee: my good friend from texas has introduced an amendment that i wish that all of us could have joined with his amendment and mr. johnson's amendment that was not allowed in order. we have made a complaint not necessarily on one amendment, but on this underlying bill. and the amendment now adds yet another analytical requirement to the already numerous analytical requirements to h.r. 3010. i would have liked to have joined mr. olson on making this just a job creation amendment. or a job creation bill. but this adds as part of the bill supermandate which overrides existing statutes like clean water act, clean air act, and the occupational safety and health act all of which reflect bipartisan legislative agreements to prohibit or limit consideration of costs in the rule making process. while i certainly agree with the idea of net job creation, h.r. 3010 does absolutely nothing to create jobs with or without the addition of this analytical requirement. we can't cure this bill. and we might have been able to do so with an amendment by mr. johnson that exempts all rules that result in job growth to be considered on the floor.
