One of the things I love about serving in Congress is I am always presented with new and interesting experiences. Each year brings more of these experiences, but I have already, in just 4 years, found that there is one experience I have…

In closing, I would just like to thank Mr. Crowley for offering this important issue. It is important to Irish heritage, and it certainly deserves the recognition as a park right here in our local area of Washington, D.C. I yield back the…

Robert Emmet was an Irishman who was inspired by our hard-fought independence in this country, and he wanted the same for his native land. I think this bill is a wonderful thing for Ireland and a wonderful thing for Irish Americans…

This bill approves a water rights settlement agreement that would resolve nearly five decades of litigation. That is a great thing. The 2015 settlement between the United States and the parties that Mr. Denham just mentioned is important…

Binding decisions of Federal courts, overwhelming consensus of the world's scientific community, and the view of the rest of the world, you are doing the right thing.

the climate denial philosophy you are hearing today is completely isolated from the rest of the world.

every other conservative party in the world acknowledges climate change, and supports action plans.

What you are doing is absolutely essential.

Just 8 years ago, the party platform acknowledged climate change and called for a transition to clean energy.

The ongoing crisis in Flint, Michigan, is a clear reminder that this Congress has unfinished work to do. Our constituents will rightly judge our job performance by our work, not by our finger-pointing, not by empty expressions of concern…

I thank the gentlewoman. My friend from Alaska is correct. The ultimate decision and the final disposition of this incredible place is up to the Congress of the United States. However, the question before us now is how should this area be…

I am glad that my colleague from Florida brought up the Deepwater Horizon tragedy because it was 6 years ago this week, actually, after 87 terrible days of the worst oil spill in history, that the BP Deepwater Horizon's wellhead was…

I urge a ``yes'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Huffman). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 14 Offered by Mr. Smith of Missouri The Acting…

This amendment strikes section 122 from the underlying bill. That section would prevent the BLM from meeting its statutory obligations under the Mineral Leasing Act to ensure operators ``use all reasonable precautions to prevent waste of…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 70, strike line 1 and all that follows through page 71, line 18. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House…

As the designee of the gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Michelle Lujan Grisham), I offer amendment No. 11. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 68, strike lines 3 through…

It always warms my heart to hear my Republican colleagues embrace science. It is a beautiful thing. I wish it happened a lot more often. In this case, we have had 30 years of study. We know a lot. The administration has developed this rule…

It's long past time for the Republican Members of this subcommittee to recognize that there are thousands of other jobs in non-agricultural industries that also rely on California's water supply.

The leader of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, said recently, 'There is no drought.'

Congressman Huffman, is the drought completely over? No.

One consequence of operating the system with that aggressive flexibility has been fishery impacts.

his statement on California's drought was rightfully mocked by experts, found to be false by nonpartisan, independent fact checkers.

To say there is no hydrological drought in California is absurd.

the standard bearer right now for the Republican party, Donald Trump, famously said a few weeks ago in California's Central Valley that there is no drought.
