There is a lot that tends to divide this House. Tonight, in a rule, and tomorrow morning, in debate, we will address a bill, H.R. 1734, which can pull both parties together, something that can address the waste in government, getting rid…
At this time, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelly).
Reclaiming my time, I have a second amendment just in case, unfortunately, trust leaves this room. In the unfortunate case that somebody does not offer their amendment, I've got my own. But I am happy to withdraw my amendment and voice…
In reclaiming my time, I support the amendment, and look forward to bipartisan support on the bill tomorrow morning. This is something that taxpayers need. This is something that will help us to reduce our debt in a way in which…
Lest we all forget, that a tangential benefit to developing more water storage is the ability to produce and generate more renewable electricity.
When the cost of the environmental review alone makes a water storage project a bad investment for the welfare of human life, the regulations have reached an extreme point that stifles our ability to provide for future generations.
H.R. 1604 would streamline redundant environmental review processes that waste time, money, and deters investment in water projects.
It will prove evident this year, and especially next year in California that our need for increased water storage is long overdue.
Am I to understand that the amendment before mine is not being brought up? The CHAIR. The gentleman is correct. Does the gentleman have an amendment at the desk?
I would like to thank the gentleman from Missouri for his work on this amendment. Just as we saw the other Democratic amendment pass through on a voice vote, I assume we're going to see this one pass through on a voice vote as well, making…
This amendment reflects what was agreed to by the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia on the homeless issue. The amendment ensures that there is a reasonable review of properties for use by the homeless. Under current law, the review…
I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 28, after line 15, insert the following: (e) McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act Review.--Upon the…
Once again, this is the amazing thing about politics. You can have an agreement and support completely the other side's opinion and still have a disagreement only in this House. I support getting this country back in line with our fiscal…
We're talking a lot around this issue. The gentlelady wants a guarantee. Let me give her a guarantee. She can bring her amendment up right now; we'll do it on a voice vote. It will be in the text of the bill within 30 minutes, and that is…
I would like to claim the time in opposition even though I'm not opposed to the amendment. The CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.
Just to reiterate one more time, I support the gentlelady's amendment. I look forward to voting on it as long as she brings it up. We support the homeless in this bill. We agreed to it in Rules. We still support it today, and there will…
The purpose of H.R. 1734 is to shrink the Federal real property footprint and save billions of taxpayer dollars by selling what we don't need and better utilizing what we keep. In fiscal year 2009 alone, the Federal Government wasted more…
Just to quickly respond, let me first say thank you to the ranking member of the subcommittee. We have worked on this bill for a year. We agreed on language. We accepted the administration's language and worked with OMB on making sure that…
We have no objection to the amendment. The CHAIR. Does any Member claim time in opposition? The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Texas.
However, since the bill was modified to require the approval of Congress before it can be implemented, CBO now says the savings will be scored on the future approval resolution, and not in this bill before us today. The savings that will…
I rise this afternoon to talk about a jobs bill that just passed out of the Rules Committee and will be on the House floor next week. H.R. 1734 is a bill that will address all of our civilian properties across the Nation, things we don't…
This month is the 35th consecutive month under this administration's economic policies where we're over 8 percent unemployment. If you look at an area like mine in California's central valley, we have been double that for that same time…
Ms. Brown, I will correct you that there are Republicans that vote for high-speed rail. I was one of them.
So if there is no private investor and there is--just want to be clear--no private investor, California doesn't come up with their money, which they have not done to date--which the attorney general or the Governor has not come up with the…
