over 80% which go to the navajo nation where unemployment is approaching 60%. the plant provides power to the major cities of arizona and 95% of the power to the central arizona projects canal. which in turn delivers 45% of the city of phoenix's projected water demand and 80% of tucson's projected water demand. the e.p.a.'s attempt to shut down the navajo generating station will put arizona's water and energy security at risk. what is worse, the navajo generating station is willing to comply with the e.p.a., yet the e.p.a. is imposing timelines that no businesses can reasonably meet. why, may you ask? because the e.p.a. is more concerned with their agenda than they are about the people of arizona. today i stand here asking my colleagues, the senate and the administration to listen to the people of my district. we have no more time to waste. we need to rein in government before it puts the rest of our country out of business. thank you, madam speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from california. mr. issa: madam speaker, i yi
