Thank you all for being here today.

Pat O'Toole is not an animal killer or a planet killer.

I missed the first vote in the 10:30 am vote series on the Motion Ordering the Previous Question on H. Res. 1316. Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 283, the Motion Ordering the Previous Question on H. Res. 1316.

I thank the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Austin Scott) for the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. (Mr. NEGUSE asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

In my mind, this is a perfect example of what we are trying to get to in the conversations that we are having.

Thank you all for being here today.

I want to thank Senators Bennet and Marshall for hosting this and for looking beyond bipartisan lines.

Thank you. Thank you all for your excellent testimony. Appreciate your being here.

could you talk a little bit about what the producers in the Valley are beginning to think about the use of groundwater conservation easements

This is the sacred land of the Miccosukee, this is our home, this is our responsibility.

we need to work together on a solution that will better accomplish the goal of conserving the North Atlantic Right Whale

nothing is more important than the safety of boaters on the water and technology is a key part

Only Congress can designate new wilderness, and while many have supported these designations throughout the country over the years...

I think if we can move decision-making point down a level or two to the people that are interacting with us on daily basis, we would get a better result.
