I am actively working to defeat that budget.

I hope that our environmental groups revisit their prioritization of alternative, environmentally responsible strategies for America to reduce our dependence on oil.

There's just no basis in fact.

We can be researching that for the next 10, 20 years.

In my view the key to making our economy less vulnerable to oil price increases is to use less oil.

I think we need to restart that effort and move ahead again on cellulosic ethanol.

Let me close by repeating my belief that biofuels have been--and will continue to be--our most important supply-side strategy for reducing dependence on imported oil.

The continued commitment of the 112th Congress, this Committee, and the enactment of legislation such as S. 187 will all contribute to ensuring America's future energy security.

I believe the most effective way to limit environmentally destructive land-use change elsewhere is through land use policies.

New Mexico tribes and pueblos have contacted me expressing their support for the 8(a) program and for the participation of ANCs.

I would just ask unanimous consent to put my opening statement in the record and look forward to the hearing.

Its time has long passed and we need to move it.

The program works.

I think reports that there are some unscrupulous folks that may be taking advantage of the program, we need to get cleaned up.

I think it is a bill that we need to continue fighting for.

I would suspect that's not geographically, sort of, distributed.

Because that magazine is designed for military and law enforcement use, and it should not fall into the hands of people who don't have a purpose other than malice to deal with it.

It is not necessary to write a better law; just honor the law that the Congress has already written.
