Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for highlighting how the drought is affecting the Midwest, not just the West, and for pointing out that our colleagues across the aisle and the administration not only have not taken any action and don't have a plan; they also won't listen to us who have plans, who want to take action. That is why we are here, why we are making this case that we have to take action. We can't just stand by and not try to do anything to help. Again, I thank the gentlewoman. She passed a bill with 420 votes affirmative and 0 against. I think she knows how to work in a bipartisan manner, and she wants to do solutions to help people. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Moore), another freshman Member from the West, who certainly understands drought and natural resources.
