And I think if we are looking for a way to grow energy resources on the East Coast, my view would be let's do the Deepwater Wind, which I believe has huge potential.

We have never heard of a catastrophic wind spill off our coast.

I urge that the FY 2019 work plan provide $10.5 million as needed for the environmental analysis, engineering, and dredging of the Canal.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I rise today in support of this bill to reopen our national parks and end the Trump shutdown. Over the last 3 weeks, the conditions in our national parks have reached unacceptable and unsafe levels…

I thank the gentleman from Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill for a number of reasons, but I would specifically like to address how the bill undermines science. Congress enacted the ESA to conserve and protect…

I urge inclusion of the associated costs of leading on this project in the USACE's budget.

The Endangered Species Act has long been one of our most successful and broadly supported conservation laws, and it has prevented the extinction of 99 percent of the species that have received its protection.

So, why does the ESA receive so much criticism by the Trump administration and some of my colleagues across the aisle? I suspect the answer is simple.

If an emergency room doctor saved 99 percent of the patients that came through the door and put 90 percent of them on a clear and timely road to recovery, as the ESA has done with imperiled species, that doctor would receive universal…

The slate of bills before us today, I am sorry to say, Mr. Chairman, is a painful reminder of how far we have moved away from the bipartisan agreement that Democrats and Republicans used to share over a core set of values, and the values…

I do not support title transfers that allow one stakeholder to take sole ownership of large, multipurpose water projects that serve numerous stakeholders.

I hope we can make the same progress in this chamber.

I do not support transfers that allow one stakeholder to take sole ownership of large, multipurpose water projects that are vital to many stakeholders.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Welcome to our witnesses. I am glad to be here, examining these two title transfer bills.

I think we can certainly make it easier to carry out non-controversial transfers that only serve a narrow set of stakeholders.

I remain open to working across the aisle in a collaborative manner.

I also believe that title transfers must not undermine bedrock environmental laws like ESA or NEPA.

This week's stunning betrayal by President Trump, choosing Russian President Vladimir Putin over our own intelligence agencies, begs questions that we should never have to ask about an American President: What does Putin have on President…

I am in its current form. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Huffman moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3281 to the Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report…

This is the part where I give the usual stipulation that this is the final amendment to the bill which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended. This…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 233, noes 184, not voting 11, as follows: [Roll No. 325] AYES--233…

Finally, Scott Pruitt is gone. After months of scandal, 19 separate investigations, countless ethical failures, abuses of his official office at taxpayer expense, finally, this corrupt, swamp creature who has been heading our Environmental…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California has 19 minutes remaining.

Regrettably, I rise in opposition to the amendment offered by my friend, Mr. Graves. This amendment requires the Comptroller General to submit a report to Congress, but it is unclear what the overall purpose of this report would be. In…

In 1996, during floor debate passage of the bipartisan Sustainable Fisheries Act that amended and reauthorized Magnuson, the gentleman from Alaska said the following: It is crucial that the management agencies within the Federal Government…
