I do want to commend Representative Denham for his concern about California salmon runs.

it is really an interesting discussion, but it is also an enormous strawman, because we are not doing anything to increase striped bass.

Congress and the Administration need to be proactive and bold in addressing the salmon crisis.

None of that applies in Title XVI.

I think Mr. Gosar's laudable goal is transparency and disclosure of costs.

Simply put, Mr. Chairman, many California fishermen are hanging on by a thread.

I think I agree with the premise of your testimony, which is that if we have these very low salmon populations, and we are trying to increase striped bass populations, knowing that it is one of many stressors, the predation issue, that…

H.R. 4582 will not help California salmon.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

The ESA offers critical protections for all types of species, not just the charismatic ones.

The conservation of endangered and threatened species relies strongly on the vital designation and protection of their critical habitats under the ESA.

I think Americans want to know that those that were responsible, the law breakers, are going to reimburse us, and that the taxpayers are not going to pick up the tab for this joy ride that these criminals took with public property.

I want to ask you how your budget addresses threats to our lands from extremists, like those who recently occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.

With great respect to the senior legislator from Alaska, I have no doubt that he knows and understands the coastal plain and that area far better than I do and that anyone else in this body does, but I do know this: every Member of this…

Today I am offering an amendment to the SHARE Act to direct the Government Accountability Office to delve deeper into an important issue, and that is the ivory trade, which has sparked international concern. Last year my home State of…

I thank the gentleman from Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I am glad that the gentleman brought up the dilemma that this amendment would pose for law enforcement. It would, shockingly, actually, impose individual penalties on law enforcement…

Where is the outrage that there are going to be communities in the San Joaquin Valley that have no water?

I hope some day we can hold hearings to examine real drought solutions that Congress could be pursuing.

The whole Valley has not gotten a zero allocation, or isn't getting one.

We should be outraged that nothing is being done to actually protect these fish.

Porterville, East Porterville, is an environmental justice tragedy and a disgrace.
