mr. dingell: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days in which to revise and to extend their remarks and to include extraneous material on the matter of this special order referring very specifically to our dear friend, the parliamentarian, mr. sullivan. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. without objection, so ordered. mr. dingell: i want to thank the chair for the kindness you have shown me and express my thanks and good wishes to my friend, mr. latourette. and now through the distinguished gentleman from ohio, i yield to the distinguished minority leader, my friend, mr. hoyer, two minutes. mr. hoyer: i thank the gentleman for yielding. maybe he has another minute that we could get to, if possible, but i want to thank the gentleman from michigan, but certainly also my friend from ohio, but of whom i have served here for a long period of time and love this institution and know how critical the functions are of the parliamentarian. i want to thank th

mr. dingell for an opening statement. >> mr. chairman, i thank you for your courtesy and for recognizes me and i commend you for holding this hearing. first, ms. jackson, thank you for visiting the north american auto show with me last weekend and i hope you enjoyed seeing the high efficiency cars that are coming out of detroit. i thank you for taking the time to attend. it was helpful to our people and i hope the experience was valuable to you and to the epa to understand all the problems we have in michigan. epa was kind of enough to allow me to speak at the fuel efficiency standards meeting and i am engaged that these field hearings were held asking for input from the public. not everyone can testify in washington, because of travel costs and other difficulties that are imposed on them. it's important to get the feedback from as many americans as possible. i hope my colleagues in this committee will review the budget proposal as a working document and include programs that may need more funding and a few that perhaps could de

mr. dingell and others are promoteing the listing of products requiring the safety of cosmetic products andadverse reporting and giving the fda to recall cosmetic products. it is obvious the administration believes the program is in need of resources because your budget includes fees for activities like registration and standard setting. if we adopt my proposal and add on more regulations, do you agree there is a greater need for additional fees? that is my question. >> mr. pallone we share your interest in this important area. i think the fees in the budget would support according to the fda, a cosmetic program. we would be eager to work with you to look at other areas that may be appropriate. i'm reluctant to do that without additional resources to carry them out effectively. this is an area that i think needs attention, which is why the president has proposed the cosmetic registration program. it would implement and standardize and collect information that is not available right now for consumer safety. >> i appreciate want the fda to do a good job ensuring the safety of cosmetic product

mr. dingell: it relates to matters you brought before this house. you can't explain this bill and nobody can. mr. walden: we can easily explain the bill. we know what's in it. we've done public hearings. we've listened to people. we've accommodated some of the great suggestions we have. we have great bipartisan pieces in this bill, and the commission still has the authorized to deny transfers of broadcast licenses. it just can't go outside of its statutory authority to promulgate rules and kind of grab other issues and force people to do things they couldn't do under their statutory authority. i now yield to the gentleman from georgia, mr. gingrey, three minutes. the chair: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for three minutes. mr. gingrey: mr. chairman, i rise in strong support of h.r. 3309, the f.c.c. process reform act. i'd like to commend technology subcommittee chairman greg walden for his legislation and his diligent work on moving it through regular order. it is necessary to make statutory reforms at the f.c.c., i'd like to speak to one p

mr. dingell, for five minutes of questions. >> mr. chairman, i thank you for your courtesy. welcome, mr. secretary. delighted to see you here. i have a number of questions which i will ask that you respond to by yes or no. it has been a year since your loan program office approved a loan from the advanced technology vehicles manufacturing program. as you know, that program was created to provide the auto industry with incentives to build or expand manufacturing facilities here in the united states instead of taking those jobs overseas. loan recipients such as ford and nissan have successfully built and expanded facilities in michigan, tennessee, illinois, kentucky and other states. question: is the loan program office working to streamline the approval process so that applicants can be assured they will not be waiting for years to find out if their application will be approved? yes or no? >> the loan program is working to improve their processing in all aspects. >> mr. secretary, i will ask that you submit something on this for the record, and i ask unanimous consent that my
