Mr. President, if the Senator from South Dakota would rescind his request to yield the floor, I would like to share one thought. First of all, I am honored to chair the committee of which you are a subcommittee chairman, and what a Godsend…

There is a reason for that. If you stop and think about it, we came to the House and Senate at about the same time. There are no two people in this body who are further apart from each other than Barbara Boxer and Jim Inhofe. Yet we have…

Mr. President, that was a very emotional and heartfelt speech. As I look around, I know there are a lot of people who want to respond and be heard, but I grabbed it first. This will be real short. I believe it was the majority leader who…

And, too, I would say the wisdom of the statements brought out that if we stop and think about it, over half of the States had a lawsuit against the Clean Power Plan. That is 29 States. Of course, I am sure that had a lot to do with the…

But on the things that were really important, we did manage to get things accomplished. There is an awful lot of hate around here, and it is so unnecessary. You can disagree with someone and love them anyway. I have to say that confession…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman-elect Roe for yielding and for his work on the committee. I have no doubt that he will perform admirably in his new role, and I want to extend my appreciation to him and to Chairman Miller for their leadership…

We need to stay in close contact with your office as we work through these issues.

How do we help with that?

Okay, so those recommendations are still pending. Are there any of those that you can talk through today or legislative recommendations to be able to do a fix here, or those are things you can get me in writing and work with our staff?

I want to thank you on behalf of the United States Senate for the sacrifices of him and others who have additionally committed their lives for our freedom.

Mr. Chairman, thanks for your leadership in this Committee.

If we can pause there, because that is the Stigler Act, and I want to be able to talk a little bit about the five Tribes.

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my good friend for yielding, and I certainly want to thank him for moving this expeditiously through his committee and onto the floor. I want to associate myself with his remarks about the need for reform…

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (S. 3395) to require limitations on prescribed burns. The Clerk read the title of the bill. The text of the bill is as follows: S. 3395 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of…
