Good job. Bill Wehrum Assistant Administrator Office of Air and Radiation U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (202) 564-7404 From: Holmstead, Jeff [mailto:jeff.holmstead@bracewell.com] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2018 5:26 PM To: Wehrum, Bill <Wehrum.Bill@epa.gov> Subject: My Oral Statement from Yesterday's NSR hearing I suspect you didn't have the chance to watch yesterday's hearing. Nothing you wouldn't have expected, but I did use my oral statement to respond to John Walke's hysterical written testimony claiming that the Griffith reform bills would cause either "massive" or "enormous increases in dangerous air pollution" - a claim he repeats 10 different times. Attached is what I said in my oral statement. Congressman Griffith also asked me about a statement on page 23 of John's testimony that says: "In 2002, the Bush administration EPA weakened the clean air regulations at issue here, to insert loopholes and exemptions that let industry increase harmful air pollution significantly and evade any modern pollution controls to reduce emissions." I thanked him for giving me a chance to respond and pulled out the graph from EPA's latest air trends report showing that air pollution has actually decreased by more than 30% in the U.S. since 2002.
