when you create habitat for the woodpecker you create habitat that falls right in line with what the bat likes.

In total, the National Park Service spent more than $365 million last year on deferred maintenance in Nancy Pelosi's district.

This $200 million earmark orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi represents a 3,113 percent increase in the amount of Federal funding received by the Presidio last year.

I was born a conservative and a conservationist, Mr. Huffman.

the numbers don't lie, that 24 percent--not quite 25--but of deferred maintenance from the National Park Service went to Speaker Pelosi, former Speaker Pelosi's district.

There wasn't supposed to be taxpayer dollars.

The root word of conservation is 'conserve.'

it made absolutely no sense to me that, in the name of protecting the bat, there were actions and talk of stopping forest management.

if they find the bat on the Federal land, that their forest management is done.

The $200 million for deferred maintenance was an earmark.

This is disappointing, and I will say it is unacceptable and telling of how much they disregard the importance of this hearing, of congressional oversight, and the need to change the status quo.

I think that could really help.
