Mr. Chair, I rise today in support of my amendment, which would require a certification from the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General that this legislation would reduce opioid overdose deaths…

Mr. Chair, this is important because if we are trying to solve the overdose crisis in our country, let's make sure that this legislation is actually supported in doing that and go through the necessary process. We know from our history in…

Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill, add the following section: SEC. 7. CONTINGENT EFFECTIVE DATE. The…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege to be able to be here today to salute my friend, a fine man, a good man, and someone who has served our country so admirably over the course of these…

With overwhelmingly bipartisan support at that time from across the entire political spectrum, the U.S. Congress had finally spoken and clearly defined the disposition of public lands in northern Arizona.

The State of Arizona and Mohave County simply cannot afford to lose any more land to the federal government.

The Antiquities Act is a crucial land management tool to help ensure that we are able to protect these lands.

Since his first day in office, President Biden has abused the authority of the Antiquities Act to add large swaths of acreage to the Federal estate, reducing public access in the process.

The only thing placing 'keep out signs' on the land does is that it forever hamstrings our citizens from making a living or enjoying the land.

I would argue the Biden administration to work with Congress to once again look at this model, rather than to use their time in attempting to unlawfully circumvent Congress to rewrite FLPMA.

New Mexico has boldly initiated a pilot conservation leasing program of its own under her leadership.

I would make the argument that, if this is good enough for Harry Reid, it should be good enough for us.

I am disturbed that in the current debt ceiling negotiations our colleagues across the other side of the aisle are insisting on severe cuts across all categories of spending.

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Mrs. Beatty).

I don't understand how, on the one hand, some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are very quick to fearmonger about offshore wind and its impact on the surrounding environment, but then at the same time are trying to de-fund…

I have been beating the drum here in Congress, of course, for years with respect to the comprehensive reforms that I think we need to get done, as described and articulated in my bill, the Tim's Act.

I couldn't agree with you more in response to Chairman Westerman's question. We all know there is a serious pay cliff approaching.
