The gentlewoman from California is right. The United States does produce a lot of copper, but it uses even more. In 2016, the United States was only 29 percent import reliant on copper. Eight years later that number has risen to 46…

My colleague from California just mentioned temporary jobs. When we first started mining iron ore 145 years ago, the American Rockefeller family thought they were going to be just temporary jobs as well. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to…

I will just share with you that Congressman James Oberstar, a Democrat for 36 years for Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District, supports mining and timber harvesting. In fact, in 1978, when the wilderness legislation was enacted, he…

Stopping Ambler Road stops the 65,000, 65,000, jobs the project would create, $5 billion, that is with a B, $5 billion in wages, and $1.3 billion in local and state revenue to the great state of Alaska.

Let us be very clear about what this bill actually does. This bill does not reduce any environmental protections. It simply tells the Secretary of the Interior to do her job and complete the necessary environmental and regulatory reviews…

I am disturbed by my colleagues who are shameless enough to argue in favor of anti-Semitism. It is not covered by the First Amendment. It is hateful. Universities have been rewarding bad behavior and punishing the ones being attacked, who…
