WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today Congressman Rob Wittman sent a letter to Inez Moore Tenenbaum, Chairman of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to urge the expeditious resolution of the commission's investigation into the scope and impact of toxic Chinese drywall affecting his constituents.

I am excited to report that the full House of Representatives approved my bill (H.R. 3433) to amend the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) by voice vote and without opposition this week. This bill is a commonsense solution to improve international wetlands conservation efforts and protects migratory birds that travel to the U.S. Specifically, H.R. 3433 would allow up to 50 percent of the non-federal share of projects in Canada to be paid for by Canadian conservation supporters.

This past Thursday I met with several constituents as well as folks from the greater Hampton Roads area who have been affected by toxic Chinese drywall. For those of you who aren't familiar with this issue, during the housing boom U.S. drywall manufacturers were unable to keep up with the demand from home builders and companies began to import drywall from China.
