Madam Speaker, I want to reiterate this point. This is the responsibility of Congress if we are going to set environment and energy regulatory policy. It is not the purpose of our independent regulatory commissions. Aren't we clear now…

Madam Chair, many of the water and power users in the Colorado basin were not consulted on this $500 million Colorado River provision and don't even know what it would be used for. That is another reason why we should actually work on…

Madam Speaker, I really don't understand this debate, talking about the PACT Act, my friend from Massachusetts. That has passed the House. Let the Senate do its work. We supported it here. Let's be serious here. I voted for the bill. The…

Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to Schrier amendment No. 2 which would fund additional research for post-fire weather assessments. This amendment suffers from the same shortcomings…

Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from California (Mr. LaMalfa). Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Chair, I appreciate Mr. Neguse working on this legislation here, but to have this all in a catchall bill--in my home State of California, the…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise in support of S. 3451. However, when we start sacrificing regular order to score political points, we are on an extremely slippery slope. Unfortunately, that…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 263. There are a lot of things the gentleman from Hawaii said that I think me, and a lot of other Republicans would agree on about what needs…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, we were just wanting a hearing on addressing the energy crisis that is facing our country, and we have yet to have that. We have continued to see development of energy on…

Thank you, Mr. President, and thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Capito, for your leadership in that this area. As has been said and should be said many times more, we appreciate the great work of our staffs in getting this done…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I find this a bit amusing that the proponents of this bill are rolling out all the law enforcement agencies that are supportive of the bill. And why wouldn't they be? Why…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise in support of H.R. 5093, sponsored by the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Herrera Beutler). This is a good bill, and I commend her for her leadership on…

Well, it was obviously a double cross by Joe Manchin. You know, just two weeks ago, we’ve said he wasn’t going to support a bill like this.

Mr. Speaker, I have no other speakers. I urge adoption of the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Herrera Beutler).

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Again, this is a simple issue. It is an issue that we shouldn't even be having to debate like this. It should be on suspension; but it just shows you how there has been an unwillingness…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise in support of H.R. 7283, the Safeguarding Treatment for the Restoration of Ecosystems from Abandoned Mines Act, also known as the STREAM Act. The…

Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. McKinley), who is the Republican lead on this legislation and who is also a fellow engineer and knows a lot about coal mining. Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the…
