Jared Huffman

I thank the ranking member and the chairman for the good work that has gone into this very important bill. As somebody who represents one-third of the California coast, obviously, this legislation is important to me. I want to especially…

I think of striped bass on the East Coast much the same way as I think of Chinook salmon back home in California.

Unfortunately, the Atlantic striped bass fishery is not doing very well.

I want to thank my friend from Oregon for his leadership and advocacy and calling us together for this important discussion tonight. I want to thank him also for bringing up our great conservation hero, Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican…

Yesterday, the House passed bipartisan legislation to better protect our Nation by making our Visa Waiver Program more rigorous. That is because we recognized, on a bipartisan basis, that legal loopholes that make Americans less safe must…

Since 2009, this Congress has failed to make some hard choices. As a result, highway, transit, and safety programs have limped along with flat funding. States and transit authorities have been unable to plan major, long-term projects as…

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Huffman moves that the managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on…

I respectfully request an ``aye'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is ordered. There was no objection. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to instruct will be followed by a 5-minute vote on agreeing to the Speaker's…

We support moving forward with the initial planning for this long-overdue dredging of the river.

It is clear to me this bill, in its current form, is not ready to proceed.

this bill in its current form is not the solution, but an open and honest dialog makes it more likely that we can reach one down the road.

the red snapper debate actually has implications that reach far beyond the Gulf of Mexico to consumers throughout the United States.

I intend to work with Mr. Graves, if he is up for that, to see if a more careful, consensus-based approach could achieve the Magnuson Act's goal.

I applaud him for taking on such a politically challenging problem.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule XX, this 5-minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 5- minute votes on passage of the bill, if…

To my esteemed colleague and coach of the baseball team, in the spirit of thinking good thoughts, if you will think good thoughts about considering the impacts to our environment and our climate, I will accept your previous offer to voice…

Through the Chair, I would say to my friend, I appreciate the offer, but I don't think there could be anything more transparent than going on record and voting on these.

I am opposed 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. 702 to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, with instructions…

Let me begin with the usual stipulations. This is the final amendment to the bill. It won't kill the bill or send it back to committee. When this is adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage as amended, so there is no…

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 3, line 4, insert ``(a) Strategic Petroleum Reserve'' before ``Not later than''. Page 3, after line…

I want to ask you to keep this great wonder of nature as it is now. I hope you will not have a building of any kind, not a summer cottage, a hotel or anything else, to mar the wonderful grandeur, the sublimity, the great loneliness and…

I fear that the Majority is holding today's hearing in an attempt to pit conservation interests against the fishing industry. I think most Americans reject that as a false choice.

For more than 50 years, the Land and Water Conservation Fund has protected America's natural heritage. This fund is one of our Nation's most important conservation tools. Every single year, millions of Americans hike the trails that this…

We also support H.R. 1422, the Credit Union Residential Loan Parity Act.
