I support H.R. 614, which was introduced by the gentleman from Minnesota [Mr. Minge]. This legislation would transfer the ownership of the New London Fish Hatchery facility from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the State of…

My amendment will revise section 301(h) of the Clean Water Act to allow the city of Anchorage which has a waiver of secondary treatment to be relieved of the 30-percent BOD removal requirement. This requirement puts a tremendous burden on…

Mr. Speaker, as the author of H.R. 716, I rise in strong support of this measure to reauthorize and improve the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967. Mr. Speaker, one of the major motivations for this legislation was an incident that…

let us look at this amendment. This is the amendment to try to harvest dead, dying, dead trees. Double adjective. These trees burned last year. If we do not harvest them, they are rotted, they cannot be used, they are a waste. And it…

Our seas are in serious trouble, primarily because of indiscriminate overfishing. This is just a small step forward, but we are going to address this hopefully on another level very soon in the Magnuson Act with an attempt to again arrest…

as the sponsor of H.R. 715, I urge my colleagues to join me in this effort to help save valuable living marine resources in a small enclave of international waters known as the Peanut Hole. Three years ago, congress approved my Central…

I can understand the statements of the gentleman from California, but I would hope that they should have been directed at legislation down the road, because we have to remember that Anaktuvuk Pass is a small, small village that was put…

That law means nothing, because the Park Service does not do as they have been told to do. I know of which I speak because the gentleman from Minnesota told me, as Mr. Seiberling told me, that there would be no problem with access to…

I am saying, accept Mr. Pombo's amendment that they shall have that right, no question. Not at the discretion of BLM, not at the discretion of the Park Service or a Secretary of Interior. No Government agency should have that right over…

It makes no difference. You have no access to it. You cannot mine. You know that, Mr. Sloss, they cannot start in the mining area. Now, wait a minute, it's my time, my time. They denied the right to that area. We were told in committee…

The private landholder, I am not asking to change the definition of the bill here. I am saying let us give them some consideration. What right does this body have to impose our will on those people who have done no wrong, that have this…

The question is: What is necessary? Well, why do you not accept an amendment that says these roads, which are identifiable, already mapped, shall remain open for those private landholders?

I think we are missing the whole goal and the whole sight of the commitment of this Congress and the American people and the commitment we made to the veterans of America. Mr. Speaker, I have traveled and spoken to a great many veterans…

I am against the bill and I am against the rule. The people are fed up with big government, more regulations, and taking away the opportunity of American people for jobs. How many of you face the EPA and what it does to the small…
