Richard Pombo

I yield to Mr. Kirk for a unanimous consent request. (Mr. KIRK asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

I do appreciate Mr. Markey's kind words about at least one provision in the bill. I do appreciate that he did not want to waste that sign, since he had his staff make up the poster and they put a lot of hard work into that. And even though…

Yes, sir. Reclaiming my time, it actually gives the State the first 50 miles that they do not have to do anything, and they could ban anything within that first 50 miles.

I yield 5 minutes to one of the chief authors of the legislation, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Peterson).

I am filing in the House a copy of the private sector mandate analysis for H.R. 4761, the Deep Ocean Energy Resources Act of 2006. This analysis was not included in the cost estimate prepared for the Committee on Resources' report on the…

the estimated oil that would result out of ANWR would be enough to fuel the entire State of Massachusetts for 75 years. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), the man that has been entrusted to represent…

I do agree with one thing that my colleague and neighbor from California said, which is that this motion to recommit has absolutely nothing to do with ANWR, because it has absolutely nothing to do with ANWR. It is, again, a cynical attempt…

opening up ANWR would give the State of Wisconsin 83 years of supply; and with that, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Tennessee (Mrs. Blackburn).

I rise just to point out that the estimated oil from ANWR would fuel the State of Connecticut for 132 years. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from California (Mr. Nunes).

as chairman of the Resources Committee, I have fought to add more domestic water supplies to blunt the effects of drought, population growth, and environmental mandates. We have made significant progress in this effort, but more change can…

the adoption of this conference report will allow America to develop the vast oil and gas resources of the Arctic Coastal Plain and help ensure our energy security for ourselves and our children. It is without exaggeration that I say that…

obviously ANWR is a controversial issue and it is something that this House has debated a number of times. This House has passed it a number of times. It is somewhat ironic that here, at 2 o'clock in the morning, as Mr. Moran points out…

The bills that we are doing by UC right now are bills that have been before the committee for a long time. The particular bill you are objecting to is a bill that the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Ortiz) has been working on for years. It is…

I rise in favor of H.R. 3812, a bill authored because in San Joaquin County, California, water supplies are being depleted. The region suffers from highly significant groundwater overdraft and saline intrusion, affecting agricultural…

I missed recorded votes today in order to be with my family in California for an unexpected family emergency. I would like my intentions made known for my constituents in the 11th district. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on…

as a fourth generation rancher, my life has been shaped by the traditions and values associated with proper stewardship of the land. Our Constitutional rights put property ownership of capital importance in the Fifth Amendment. The right…

I was unable to make votes today on the House floor because of an untimely and unexpected need requiring me to be back home with my family in California. I take my responsibility to vote very seriously. Had I been present, I would have…

H.R. 4128, the ``Private Property Rights Protection Act'' is a timely response to the horrendous Kelo decision. I am supportive of this bill and call for its expedited passage. I want to thank Chairman Sensenbrenner for his leadership on…

on November 1, 2005 I missed recorded votes and would like my intentions included in the Congressional Record. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on both H.R. 3548 and H.R. 3989. ____________________

I rise in order to extend a warm thanks and offer my heartfelt appreciation to those who work tirelessly to ensure the well-being of all Americans. The purpose of House Resolution 220 is to give credit where credit is due; to pay our…

reclaiming my time, this provision was not in the Contract With America. Nobody seems to be constrained by the truth here. This is a brand-new way of dealing with compensating property owners whose land is taken. CBO scored this at $10…

Mr. Chairman how much time remains? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo) has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining; the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Rahall) has 2 minutes remaining.

on July 29, 2005 I missed one recorded vote. I take my responsibility to vote very seriously. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on H.R. 3, the Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users.

I pledge to the gentleman that as we move forward with a long-term solution, that the interests of all the States bordering the Gulf will be protected, and the gentleman will be part of those discussions.
