Mr. President, reserving the right to object, and I won't object, but I want to make sure I have enough time to give the remarks I was supposed to give.

Mr. Speaker, with all due respect to the gentlewoman who just stood here, the fact remains the Democrats are not introducing a budget. One of the fundamental principle things that this Congress should do is introduce a budget. This…

Mr. Speaker, there have been some assertion that this is a worse threat than what's going on in the gulf. The most immediate threat to the oceans, at least that we see, is what's going on with the oil spill in the gulf. And it is nothing…

Mr. Speaker, one of the concerns I have about this resolution is the vague nature of what these so-called national policies would be. Again, I would like to ask the gentleman if he would respond to a question. Is H.R. 2454, the…

Reclaiming my time, I concur with the gentleman and the idea that we need to pursue green technologies. In my opinion, that includes nuclear technologies, getting the regulatory bodies out of the way so that we can pursue the adoption of…

Thank you. And if the gentleman will respond to another question. It talks in the very first sentence, ``Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should adopt national policies.'' By ``national policies''…

Mr. Speaker, would the gentleman help me understand why this resolution is needed at this time. I don't want to try to debate-- I appreciate your passion for this topic. It's evident and I appreciate that. But given that we already passed…

Madam Speaker, I again urge passage of this important bill and support its passage. I have no further requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. The Hoover Dam may be 85 years old, but its legacy of providing emissions-free electricity, water for cities and farms, recreation for millions of boaters, flood control, and…

Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I want to thank my colleague, the gentleman from Utah, Mr. Jim Matheson, for introducing this important piece of legislation. It's been a pleasure to work with him and his staff in…

Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I commend the Democrat majority for scheduling H.R. 1061 under suspension of the rules today. Today, the House is setting a valuable precedent by removing certain…

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the author of this legislation, the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros- Lehtinen).

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. House Resolution 518 recognizes the life of Jacques Cousteau for bringing the underwater world to the living rooms of the Nation through his television shows and documentaries. I…
