Madam Chairwoman, I appreciate your having today's hearing. This is the first time this session we've had Administrator Jackson here to discuss the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) air quality regulations. I'm glad you're here. I'd also like to thank the witnesses on our second panel. Cathy Woollums, I'm anxious to hear how EPA's regulations are affecting your rate payers. Dr. Brenner, I look forward to learning more about how energy price increases and unemployment affect public health. I think your testimony will be particularly insightful in light of the sweeping job losses we expect from EPA's rules.
