I think that this bill is important in that regard, because it shows you a real time evaluation of success.

I find that kind of interesting, that you would look at that.

At a 2 percent success rate, that is hardly success.

When someone says you are not allowed to ask questions, you are not allowed to look at the data, you are not allowed to debate the issue, you are not allowed to look at the full scope of the data, that is not a scientist talking, that is a…

There is a growing tendency on the left to hide scientific data that is contrary to their own predetermined conclusions.

Restoring good stewardship of our public lands should be our ultimate goal.

The American people should know all of the money that is being diverted from species recovery in order to cover lawyers' fees and other litigation costs.

My bill, the PETITION Act, attempts to reverse this problem.

These organizations have subverted well-intentioned policy.

The problem is the process is being abused.

I find it very interesting that you like to cherry-pick.

It seems like you like cherry-picking your science.

I am a believer that the facts set us free.

Species conservation and economic development are not zero-sum.

We are not against critters. We want to see this work.

I take offense to that. I would encourage you to look at our website and review the list of the 166 stakeholders throughout the country that are supporting these bills.

In the 45 years since its enactment, less than 2 percent of species have recovered enough to warrant removal from the list of endangered and threatened species.

A less than 3 percent recovery rate for endangered species is anything but the mark of a successful law.

It is not good enough just to allow this to occur and just say, well, these are fundamentally flawed.

The Endangered Species Act serves a noble purpose that is necessary to the conservation of many species.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division A (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

This amendment previously failed by recorded vote in July of 2016. The amendment taxed ranchers and attempts to relitigate the Bundy matter. DOJ was found to have withheld evidence and to have violated these ranchers' rights. There is no…

The President's budget request for fiscal year 2018 proposed eliminating the Environmental Justice Program. Also, the RSE budget supports Representative Sam Johnson's H.R. 958, the Wasteful EPA Programs Elimination Act of 2017, which…

Originally, this legislation was intended to help 1,000 families. We have helped more than 3,600 Navajo families and 27 Hopi families. When we talk about the comprehensive plan, maybe we ought to get everybody in order to make sure that…

I claim time in opposition to this amendment for several reasons. The Navajo-Hopi Settlement Act of 1974 was intended to last 5 years. After that, the plan was to go ineffective. This program has lingered on for nearly four decades longer…
