Today, Reps. Filner, Pelosi, Gutierrez, and I am introducing legislation to require the Department of Energy to move the tailings to a safe location.

I think now the gentlewoman is drifting over into my area of expertise, and that is American humor, with the argument for this legislation that somehow because we pump the sand up on the beaches from the Federal OCS, the Outer Continental…

I am supporting this bill. We passed it out of the House last year. Basically the bill removes a restriction on a piece of property owned by the Agua Caliente Tribe in downtown Palm Springs, California. The restriction, part of the 1959…

I rise today to join the millions of Americans who are mourning the death of Matthew Shepard, who died Monday, at the age of 21 years old after being beaten, robbed, and left to die, tied to a fence near Laramie, Wyo. I wish to express my…

this bill is a National Park Service initiative. It would simply place within the boundaries of the Historic Site 120 acres that the NPS previously purchased as an uneconomic remnant of another parcel they acquired.

The U.S. Forest Service has been acquiring lands in southeastern Ohio for the Wayne National Forest for many years. Typically, these land purchases are subject to reservation of the mineral estate by the seller for a term of 25 to 40…

this bill and its House companion bill, H.R. 4513, have had no hearings or markups in the House. The bill directs the National Park Service to undertake a number of cultural resource programs along the Route 66 corridor. The National Park…

It did not take long to get past the disability issue here to see the anger over the fact that we have a national Wilderness Act in this country. It does not say no sign of man. It talks about the context in which the wilderness will be…

It is unfortunate that once again we yet have to again extend the time for the budget to be completed for this country. It is unfortunate because we come down to an item that is so terribly important to America's families and to America's…

No one argues, no one argues with the purpose of the gentleman's remarks, but he cited the exact provision of the Wilderness Act that he and others have attacked now for 20 years and that is no motorized vehicles in wilderness areas. This…

Mr. Speaker, at the request of my distinguished colleague, the gentleman from Guam (Mr. Underwood) who is traveling to his district on official business, I urge this body to support House Resolution 494, the Guam centennial resolution…

I want to join in commending Secretary Babbitt and Senator Thomas and Senator Dale Bumpers, who will be retiring from this Congress, and our Chairman, the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), for all of their efforts on behalf of this…

it is not by accident that we are here today. It is intentional. The Republicans were so giddy and so excited about the Starr investigation and the prospect of impeaching the President of the United States that they decided that they would…

S. 2117 as amended authorizes a number of relatively small but important provisions affecting water resource projects and management in the Western United States. The bill authorizes construction of a rural water system in South Dakota…

The tragedy of that bill is that the Republicans fought us for the last 2 years at every turn where we had the ability to make it less expensive for students who graduated from college to consolidate their loans, to save hundreds and…

we can talk all we want here, or the Republicans can talk all they want, about what they are going to do in terms of education, because most of the legislation that was just read by the gentleman in the well is legislation that they have…

it is not a mystery why this has been one of the least productive congresses in history, why this is a do-nothing Congress, because this Congress has only worked 108 days this year. Most working people worked in excess of 225 days, 250…

I'm pleased that we are here today to consider and pass H.R. 4483, the Rosie the Riveter National Park Service Affiliated Site Study Act of 1998. The role of women in the U.S. workforce was forever changed during World War II when women…

I rise in support of S. 2094. This is simply a good Government bill. It allows the Fish and Wildlife Service to auction nonendangered wildlife products that have been confiscated by wildlife agents or the customs service for various…

Mr. Chairman, many Members have come down to this floor and commented on a number of good projects in this bill, and that is, in fact, accurate. But many Members who have good projects in this bill will be opposing this legislation because…

Madam Chairman, I rise today in opposition to this poorly conceived, hastily prepared antienvironmental legislation. This legislation, as has been noted, has attracted the opposition of the administration, the environmental groups, and…

I am glad to strongly support this major piece of legislation that has been nearly six years in the making. I wish to compliment Congressman Faleomavaega for all of the hard work and energy he has spent on this bill in the last four years…

This bill has strong bipartisan support. I urge its passage. Mr. Speaker, this bill as has already been noted, restores the provision of BIA and IHS services to members of the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, a largely migratory band of…

Mr. Speaker, the Mount Saint Helen's National Volcanic Monument Completion Act requires the Secretary of the Interior to acquire, by exchange, the mineral and geothermal interests of the Burlington Northern, Incorporated and the…

At the outset, I want to commend the gentleman from Montana (Mr. Hill) for his efforts to bring this matter before the committee and to the floor of the House. I also want to acknowledge the leadership role of Senator Bachus in developing…
