If we were to open up this process so that those who have offshore would have greater say in how those offshore waters are developed at the same time you allow states that are onshore to have greater say on how public lands, Federal lands…

Isn't it somewhat frustrating to think that people who want to drive their cars to work, want to air condition their homes, want to air condition the tourist hotels that are attracting people don't really care about where that energy to…

One of the things this bill does do is try to make sure that information goes out there so states can make a wise decision.

As evidenced by the opposition from virtually every elected county, state, and Federal official, the state of Utah strongly opposes any unilateral monument designation within our state.

I just want to treat all states equally and fairly, including Louisiana. And that is not happening right now.

I think we need to avoid a belief that what we do in Washington controls the whole world and everything is all about us.

I don't think any meaningful nuclear agreement is possible without promoting and defending human rights.

One thing I want to point out is that perhaps the most important thing America does for democracy around the world is to serve as a model for democracy.

We have to believe in democracy and elections even when we are on the losing side.

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 5752) to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with respect to the importation of certain drugs, and for other purposes, as amended. The Clerk read the title of the…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind the American people of the quick phrase that was recently used by the current administration: ``It's not our fault.'' It is not our fault. Really? That is that sentiment of our U.S. Attorney General who…

I appreciate that. I am running out of time. I just would say, I think, particularly as the Pentagon finalizes its response to the White House directive on a review of the industrial base, it might be useful for Congress, I think, to do…

the idea that they can charge us for something that we paid to develop--it is just absolutely unfair to the taxpayers of the United States.

It is sad that it took me too little time to find the names of 250 Americans killed by gun violence, sad because we could save lives but refuse to do so. We could save other families from enduring this trauma and pain if the majority could…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today yet again because Congress continues to do nothing as Americans die from the scourge of gun violence. It is just over 2 years from the tragedy at Pulse nightclub that claimed 49 lives and changed hundreds of lives…
