I thank the gentleman from Maryland for his remarks. It has happened to me before as well, so he is welcomed for being able to clear that up. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Payne).

I thank the gentleman from Tennessee and I appreciate his message and his involvement as we try to use this medium to communicate with the American people. Oftentimes, a cable news interview here or there gets a lot more hits than social…

I introduced a bill that would prohibit Natural Asset Companies from entering into any agreement involving Utah's land or natural assets.

I thank the gentleman from Tennessee for his comments. Of course, when they become personal stories is when they become the most tragic. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raskin).

I say to the gentleman from New Jersey that that was the easiest request I have had all year. I appreciate hearing the stories of his father and I, of course, offer my condolences to him. It is an honor to be able to hear stories of his…

H.R. 7375, introduced by my friend, Representative Hageman from Wyoming, would amend how the BLM charges expression of interest fees for oil and gas development on Federal lands.

After a company has spent substantial time and resources getting a project permitted, Interior is still withholding notices to proceed drilling permits and other authorizations because of litigation threats.

H.R. 7409, the Harnessing Energy at Thermal Sources Act, or the HEATS Act, introduced by Representative Kim from California, is a common-sense bill that would alleviate the BLM from having to permit geothermal wells on state and private…

H.R. 7377, the Royalty Resiliency Act, introduced by Representative Hunt from Texas, would fill a gap in existing law with respect to how oil and gas royalties are paid to the Federal Government.
