I urge regulatory sensibility in the support of this amendment, and with that, I yield back the balance of my time.

I would yield the remaining 1 minute to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Markey).

This is a bad amendment. Presidents of both parties have used this act to increase protection to lands and waters that are already U.S. Government controlled. The act has no impact on private lands. It's a law that was passed by a…

I would ask my friend from Georgia: What's the alternative? Should we have gone into Rwanda? The U.N. was an abysmal failure, but where was the United States? And if we didn't have the United Nations, the United States would be asked to…

Well, Mr. Chairman, I can understand where my very good friends are coming from. They represent a lot of professional and very responsible fishermen. And I know they know what they're talking about. On the other hand, NOAA does, too. And…

Woman, the CR, I believe, is irresponsible, but this amendment would commit this country to an economic death spiral. It may sound like heresy, but the reality is you can't run the strongest government and the strongest economy in the…

I thank the gentlelady. This is the 21st century. We have to live with our neighbors. If the United Nations didn't exist, we would have to create it. The fact is that even the Government Accountability Office estimates that a U.N…

I would yield those 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Markey).

This amendment would stop a very careful planning process that determines what routes off-road vehicles can use through our national forests. Now over the past few decades, we know that the availability and capability of off-road vehicles…

Could I inquire how much time remains? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 2 minutes remaining.

This is a message amendment. We love our colleagues who represent the Western States, but many of them, particularly on the other side, don't seem to show much love for the Federal Government they represent. The payment in lieu of taxes…

This amendment stops the Interior Department from protecting nearby streams and rivers from the toxic disposal of coal mine waste. So let me give you the top seven reasons why this amendment should be defeated. One, it will allow for the…

6 weeks ago, the Environmental Protection Agency, six States, including Mr. Goodlatte's own State of Virginia and the District of Columbia, ended years of stalling and released detailed plans to reduce Chesapeake Bay pollution to meet…

May I inquire as to how much time remains on both sides? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Moran) has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

This amendment is the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand--I use that analogy because we're talking about Florida--hoping that a growing problem somehow will miraculously go away. Back in 2009, a consent decree was reached in…

At this time I would yield the remaining 3 minutes to the very distinguished lady from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz).

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia will be postponed. Amendment No. 548 Offered by Mr. Jones
