I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 60, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $20,000,000)''. Page 101, line 20, after the…

It just so happens that I had a hearing about a week ago on the Appalachian Regional Commission and all the other commissions. It is interesting that this has been around since the 1960s. There was a map of the Appalachian region, of which…

I would say I dispute the claim that they work in collaboration. The Delaware River Basin Commission itself, in contravention of the Pennsylvania legislature, has banned the practice all over northern Pennsylvania. Hydraulic fracturing…

This amendment strikes $35 million in funding for the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations. For those unfamiliar with this office, according to its website, it accelerates the market adoption of clean energy technologies and fills a…

Apparently, I was the reasonable one in the room because this amendment offered by Mr. Norman would eliminate funding for the Denali Commission, and I can support that as well. The Denali Commission is one of seven regional commissions…

This amendment reduces funding for the Denali Commission by $2 million to the FY19 level. The Denali Commission's mission for providing job training and other economic development services in rural Alaska can be better served by the 29…

I certainly respect the good gentleman from Tennessee, and I thank him for the time. I don't know. It seems like a lot of money still remaining for project management oversight. That doesn't seem to be billions of dollars' worth of…

I certainly appreciate my good friend from Arizona. We are sure happy to have him here, as well as the gentleman from Tennessee, and the work that they have done in collaboration with my friends across the aisle. None of this is easy, but…

This amendment cuts the funding to the Delta Regional Authority by $6.1 million, back to the FY19 level. In FY17, the Obama administration sought to cut funding for the Delta Regional Authority by $3 million. The FY18, FY19, FY20, and FY21…

I thank the kind gentleman from Tennessee for averring or implying that I am the reasonable one in the debate here, and I would, on behalf of the gentleman from South Carolina, urge adoption. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time…

I, again, say this commission includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. I have been to every one of them. Many of the residents of Pennsylvania are moving to those States because they…
