mr. mccarthy, what do you think about this deal that the president has just struck with iran? >> well, i would caution the president from over selling this deal. it is not a full dismantling of the program that would be historical deal. when you have friends and allies inside the region strongly opposed to it, i would caution. i agree with minority whip that we should move forward with the sanctions in the senate. one thing that we have to do, remember who we're dealing with, we're dealing with iran, one of the top supportest of terrorism around the world. this is providing them resources an money and we should not take this lightly. we have to have a full dismantling if we want the world to be safer. >> schieffer: you know, i was on airplanes this weekend, more than one person i was talking to about this whole deal pending with iran, and they were saying, this might be a diversionary arctic by the administration, which is desperately looking for good news would you put it in that category yet? >> i would never judge upon that what we're dealing with international. i know they

mr. mccarthy: thank you, mr. speaker, i thank the chairman for his work in keeping the pledge to bring this bill to the floor. i rise in support of h.r. 3350, the keep your health care plan. from the start obamacare's been a disaster. first, the individual mandate was a bad idea before. even more dangerous now. because it's forcing people to choose health care they do not want, cannot afford, isn't right for themselves and their families. second, the president's credibility continues to crumble. as independent news sources have confirmed, that he intentionally broke his promise to every american about whether they could keep their insurance under this law. we will continue to see the shock waves of obamacare. today, it is the fact that americans cannot keep their coverage. tomorrow, it will be the staggering and unexpected cost. next month it will be about losing access to their doctor and the list continues to go. no administrative fix will undo the harm this law has caused. republicans believe that we must try

mr. speaker, the house is not in order. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. mr. cantor: mr. speaker, this letter was september to me by a constituent -- was sent to me by a constituent named bruno, and he's a constituent of mine in richmond, virginia. he's a self-employed individual who purchases health insurance through anthem blue cross blue shield. a few weeks ago he was stunned to receive this letter in the mail, and it clearly reads, to meet the requirements of the new law, your current plan can no longer be offered. any me plan to cost him this nds and thousands -- plan will cost him thousands and thousands more. as every day passes, we continue to learn more and more people in the same situation. mr. gorra and this cancellation letter represents millions of obamacare victims across the country who are having their health insurance ripped away from them. as a result, we as republicans will have the keep your plan act on the floor tomorrow. e only way to stop the can

mr. president. today's fix that you just announced leaves it up to state insurance commissioners and insurance companies to ultimately decide whether to allow old policies to be renewed for a year. how confident are you that they will do that? and secondly, how concerned are you that this flawed rollout may hurt democrats' chances in next year's midterm elections, and your ability to advance other priorities such as immigration reform? >> on the first question, traditionally, state insurance commissioners make decisions about what plans can be or cannot be sold, how they interact with insurers. what we're essentially saying is the affordable care act is not going to be the factor in what happens with folks in the individual market. and my guess is right away you're going to see a number of state insurance commissioners exercise it. part of the challenge is the individual markets are different in different states. there are some states that have individual insurance markets that already ha

mr. mccarthy: thank you, mr. chairman. i thank my colleague for recognizing me. i rise in support of h.r. 1900. in support of the work this chamber has accomplished this week. this was an important week in the house. we will have passed three bills that further the energy revolution that has propelled the u.s. to the forefront of the world's energy producers. so to hear a few of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle disparage this work, even so much as refer to it as egregious, is disappointing. first we pass legislation that reduced bureaucratic delays on energy products on federal land. that are providing resources to power our economy. as america we will soon become the largest energy producer in the world. it is astonishing that this occurred while energy production on federal lands has actually decreased. we guarantee that energy production from hydraulic fracturing on federal lands is overseen by the regulator with the best prack record, the states. and -- track record, the states. and today we are ensuring that one harness the energy resources will

. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for coming and testifying today. i believe what we're doing is important. that being said, i have a number of problems with how epa has done its job putting forward rules without adequate -- all while energy consumption is increased by 47%. gdp increased by 219 percent. that's why i continue pushing your agency to base regulations on sound scientific principles and practices. make your data set open to the public for review and utilize common place statistical measures and methods all of which epa seemedded at verse to when the fact don't necessitate what often appears to be a politically predetermined regulatory approach. as you know, section 316 b. of the clean water act requires best technology available to minimize harm to a qualityic organizations a-- to expand your regulatory power. when relying on the science, epa has not been able to justify the rulemaking. this is because the cost always outweigh the benefits. your agency is recognized there will be no benefits huma
