Jared Huffman

I will close by commending Representative Suozzi for his bipartisan initiative to honor the legacy of Congressman Lester Wolff. I urge a ``yes'' vote on this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

I want to associate myself with the other comments about how much we are going to miss Colonel Cook. We respect him. We admire him. We are amused by him. Let the record show he just called the Sierra Club great. I want that to be noted…

I respectfully request an ``aye'' vote, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Huffman) that the House suspend the rules and pass the…

I urge an ``aye'' vote with no caveats, and I thank the gentleman, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Huffman) that the House…

Just another shout-out to Congressman McCaul and his wife, who was a fantastic witness at the hearing we had on this bill at the Natural Resources Committee, and also for the leadership of the State of Texas and so many other States…

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I yield the balance of my time to the other gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Fortenberry).

Those of us that believe we are in the middle of a climate crisis... we just don't have time for fake solutions.

Let's stop pretending that promoting U.S. or any other natural gas is a solution to this climate crisis.

there is no reason why we need to continue building fossil-dependent structures at this point.

I have a Trump ethics pledge, and I have it right here.

Can you commit to providing a congressional briefing on this matter before the rule is finalized as requested...

That should have been a 2-year ethics recusal.

You are an astute and scholarly lawyer. I know you appreciate that words matter.

I did want to continue this thread, Mr. Jorjani, about the Trump ethics pledge.

It won't take long to follow up. You just have to read the recusal. I have it right here.

I asked for a specific pledge. If this was misapplied, if participation occurred when there should have been recusal--you are the Solicitor of the Department of the Interior--are you going to do something about it?

Well, you are the Solicitor of the Department of the Interior. There is no one better to answer a very specific legal question on something like this than you, and we have you today.

From the Representative of the northernmost district on the coast of California, I really do want to thank my friend from southern California for yielding to me. San Diego and Orange Counties are so well-served by his intelligent…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes.

For those who have flights to catch and would like to get out of here, I think I have some good news. I think we can keep this pretty short and pretty simple because this is a very simple bill. It reflects the proposition that there are…

Well, again, this canard that oil and gas drilling is good for caribou is right out of the ``thank you for smoking'' playbook. It is just not true. And rather than subscribe to these alternative facts, we need look no further than the…

This amendment, I am sorry to say, is another delay tactic in order to buy this administration more time to jam through a lease sale. We know that former Assistant Secretary Joe Balash said earlier this year that the leased sale will…

As I said, this amendment is a delay tactic to ensure that the current administration will lock in a lease sale before protections can go into place or before they are finally run out of office. It does not require consultation with the…

Let's do be careful about the facts. More caribou than we have ever had before? That is certainly the case for the Porcupine caribou herd, precisely because it has had the benefit of the wilderness management of the coastal plain of the…

Unfortunately, this amendment is a stall tactic to delay the bill's protections for the Arctic refuge from taking effect until the Secretary of the Interior--a walking conflict of interest who became the subject of investigations into…
