There is a better way. The States have stood up and shown that they can be better managers of the land.

But that is what they are doing. My whole point is they are violating the Federal law because there is no Federal law that allows this jurisdiction.

So in regards to the private industry and the segments that are dependent upon this versus, as you quantified it, the deep pockets of the Federal Government, wouldn't something like equal access to justice, shouldn't that have some…

I strongly support these goals. In fact, I see fighting for these goals as my obligation as one of Arizona's rural representatives to the Federal Government.

In the West we have a saying: Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting over.

Why would we trust the IRS's testing on their security mechanism?

You know, the administration has recently stated that the data hub is ready and finished in its security testing, yet there were all kinds of technical problems when the exchanges occurred last week.

I want to reiterate that this isn't a new mine. This mine of operations exists currently there today. The modern-day practices Resolution Copper plans to implement at the Pinal County site are not new. Many mines across the world implement…

And nearly 100 acres of private land adjacent to the culturally important Apache Leap is being placed into Federal stewardship. This proposal truly has bipartisan support on the ground in our State and across the country. We can preserve…

Despite assurances from the BIA Western Regional Office that they were working diligently to complete the approval process, it is my understanding that the agreement still has not been completed.

On May 23, my Arizona colleague Congressman David Schweikert sent a letter to Assistant Secretary Washburn asking him to facilitate conversations...

I would expect you to say absolutely yes, that those records should be turned over to Congress.

I mean, accountability, I mean, I'm talking to a man who is very accountable, and through his whole lifetime has been that way.

I'd like to acknowledge that out of our committee this bill was reported 35-1 in favor of this bill, so a heavily bipartisan bill reported to the House. I reserve the balance of my time.

Trust is a series of promises kept.

It seems to be a new vogue type of application about how we get our way when we shop judges.

I want my environment clean, too, but I also want it based on science, reputable science, and having a dialog.

Joining me off the House floor today is Jeb Harmon, a dedicated staffer of mine for almost 2 years. Jeb embodies the spirit, work ethic, and patriotism we need from young adults who will one day lead our Nation. He has worked tirelessly…

This regulation is not necessary. It seeks to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

I want a healthy environment for everyone. But I also think everyone must follow the law.

We haven't even started talking about the Endangered Species Act, have we?

The Federal Government, for example, promised that livestock grazing would not be affected on the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Trust is a series of promises kept, right? Is that a good definition?

I am committed to working with those folks on issues pertaining to the Verde River, but I am specifically concerned about the Blueways designation.

What I am very disappointed in is the administration couldn't be bothered to provide a witness today.
