Thank you very much, Chair Tiffany. I want to thank you for inviting us to your beautiful district in Hayward here, where one of the greatest KOAs is just down the roadway.

I support fair labor standards, high environmental standards, and increasing our national security. In short, I support domestic mining. I urge all of my colleagues to do the same and support H.R. 2925. Madam Speaker, I yield back the…

The disastrous results of the Rosemont decision will redirect the huge amounts of capital needed to mine domestically to countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Indonesia. When we choose this out-of-sight, out-of-mind…

I thank the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar), my good friend, for his words of support for this legislation. Again, this legislation would correct a misguided court decision revoking an approved mine for the Rosemont Copper Mine Project…

I want to be very clear: This bill will not allow mining companies to do whatever they want on public land. That is a fact. Mining activity will not occur if any facet of a mine plan of operations has not passed our strict Federal…

Federal lands account for as much as 86 percent of the land area in certain Western States, and these same States account for 75 percent of our Nation's metals production. The Mining Regulatory Clarity Act is needed to ensure that we have…

Secure a hundred percent FMAP for Urban Indian programs. Then you won't have to depend so much on Medicaid.

The conversation, it is a delicate one to even talk about because whenever you talk about suicide, you want to offer resources immediately.

This is crazy. And Ms. Pingree and I, with the chair, we worked on the Bug School.

I note that the Founders never would have intended a U.S. President allowing 6.7 million illegal immigrants into the country, including terrorists and the drug cartels. I think that is probably not something that was envisioned by the…

The idea that immigrants do not come to this country desperately searching to reach that American dream is ridiculous.

To just unpack some of those arguments made against this bill, that H.R. 7109, the Equal Representation Act, will discourage immigrants from participating in the Census. Revealing that someone is not a citizen does not reveal if someone is…

Well, in my opinion, being present when some of the stuff happened, that is an unintended consequence, totally unintended consequence.

I think the administration and the Congress need to figure out how to get these dollars out.

I started working on cleanup with Tom Udall over 20 years ago.

I think we are going to have to go to school on Medicaid and Medicare because that is mostly in the tax preview.

Congratulations. They are finishing. That is great because some students just kind of have to go, not full-time, but three-quarter time or part-time, especially returning adults.
