the Forest Service attempt to apply NEPA to private mineral rights in the Allegheny National Forest is not only a violation of state and Federal law, but even a violation of their own policy.

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my friend from Florida for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4618, legislation that I introduced to name the Federal building and United States Courthouse in Gainesville, Georgia…

Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 145, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.'' The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore…

I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for his wise words. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I congratulate the writers of The New York Times' expose, a three-part series on forced arbitration. The second part of the series examined the…
