Jon Kyl

Totally protects it, so there is no issue there.

NEPA is fully satisfied.

All it is, is just an undeveloped campground for the Forest Service.

There are 'no waivers.'

Senator Kyl does not believe that a TRUE public interest determination such is this is necessary.

I believe it was Senator Kyl who said that the legislation that has come over from the House totally protects Apache Leap.

I urge my colleagues to support this land exchange.

The people in my State are hurting, and this mine is an economic opportunity that should not be squandered.

The Administration's apathetic view of the Mine is disgraceful and frustrating, and should trouble every member of this body.

I support H.R. 1904 as passed by the House of Representatives.

One of the reasons why this land exchange is necessary is there is something called the copper triangle.

Senators Kyl and Reid, seeking a broad clarification of the Wire Act's parameters.

Nothing ion this bill circumvents consultation.

Mr. Chairman, I do not have any other questions.

I ask the indulgence of my colleague. If my colleague could make the unanimous consent request to which I can respond, then I can leave.

Yes. One of the questions is this interplay between the executive and the legislative branch. When the legislative branch, as Congress has done here through the authorization of military force, has provided the legal basis for the…

Ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court, when cases come before the Court that present these issues, determines what the law is. In this situation we have actually two specific cases, and there are others that are tangential, that do clarify…

Yes. I would just qualify that statement this way. A person can be subject to military custody being a belligerent against the United States, even while being a U.S. citizen, be tried by military commission because of the act of war…

I would say to my colleague, yes. My colleague knows this case, I am confident. I think one quotation from the case makes the point clearly--in Ex parte Quirin the court made clear: ``Citizenship in the United States of an enemy…

Yes. In fact, there is a famous U.S. Supreme Court case, Ex parte Quirin, decided in 1942, that dealt with the issue of an American citizen helping the Nazi saboteurs that came to our shores.

Yes. I would say to my colleague, unfortunately, it is the case that there probably hasn't been a major conflict in which at least some American citizen has decided to leave his country and side with the enemy.

I would hope that my colleagues would consider and potentially act on this legislation so that we can continue to try to close all of the loopholes that we have identified that enable illicit financial activities.

I want to urge the Office of Management and Budget to complete an expeditious review of the final review and get this done so that we can take advantage of the tools that we passed here in the Congress and confront these illicit financing…

Not only is any dollar given to Hamas' so-called charitable wing a dollar that can be diverted to terrorism, but donations to this and other groups also enhance their power and prestige, which in turn makes it easier for them to recruit…

Since we make it a crime to knowingly provide material assistance to these and other terrorist groups, these statutes have helped starve those groups of resources.
