[Congressional Record Volume 161, Number 139 (Friday, September 25, 2015)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1360] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PERSONAL EXPLANATION ______ HON. NIKI TSONGAS of massachusetts in the house of representatives Friday, September 25, 2015 Ms. TSONGAS. Mr. Speaker, I was absent from the House on September 24th and 25th to attend my daughter's wedding. Had I been present, I would have voted against H.R. 348. Rather than improving the environmental review process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), this legislation would only create confusion, increase litigation, and undermine one of our nation's bedrock environmental statutes. ____________________
