Madam Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 688 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 688 Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this…

With that, I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the previous question on the resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on ordering the previous question on the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro…

Mr. Chairman, the minority insists that we are creating some sort of drone zone in title XIV. Now, I understand the intent of that is to muddy the waters on what is otherwise a very clear issue. Can I tell you, I like that phrase, I'm…

Yes, Hawaii was taken out in committee. It is not put in with the amendment that was just passed.

Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Strike sections 1401, 1402, and 1403, and insert the following: SEC. 1401. WAIVER OF FEDERAL LAWS…

Mr. Chairman, can I just inquire if there is any time left from either side? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Utah has 2\1/4\ minutes remaining. The time of the gentleman from Arizona has expired.

In my last minute, Madam Speaker, there are a couple of things I would like to say. First of all, I appreciate the words that were read. Unfortunately, reality is different. One of the reasons why this particular provision is supported by…

I yield myself 1 additional minute. What I also found somewhat distressing is that in this campaign in Montana there is another group called Montana Hunters and Anglers, who, unfortunately, are simply a partisan hit group that are taking…

Madam Speaker, I yield myself 3 minutes. I appreciate many of the comments that have been made here. I'm glad the gentleman from Colorado is still here, because in the memo of understanding which controls what the Border Patrol does…

I appreciate the efforts of my namesake from New York. I appreciate what he is doing. Chairman Hastings of the Resources Committee was extremely specific in which he said that after the Democrat Senate had sent over that atrocious omnibus…

Once again, I appreciate the opportunity of talking about a couple of other elements in this bill. I appreciate the gentleman from Texas and his comments. Unfortunately, yes, the study was taken out because it would be a replication of…

I want to thank Chairman Hastings, my colleague, the chairman of the subcommittee, Mr. Bishop, for his support in this bill that we introduced, the section that will be included in this bill dealing with the Diamond Fork System. In Utah…
