This plan as proposed by the Administration would essentially close the entire resource to energy development, eliminate a key priority in the multiple-use mission of Forest Service lands, and further erode our efforts to generate domestic…

The Forest Service, as a custodian of our lands, has an obligation to work with a multiple-use mission to serve the people of Virginia and the United States by promoting the conservation of our resources, which undeniably should include…

I urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Hastings). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair…

Reclaiming my time, my understanding is the Judiciary Committee did not have any problems with this particular revision. But having discussed all the issues around this amendment, I would urge a ``no'' vote. I yield back the balance of my…

I would say that those judges certainly would have a closeness to the situation that would be helpful. But the circuit, I believe it's the 11th Circuit, includes a number of other States that are not as situated like Alabama and Florida…

Reclaiming my time, I would say that we would have a more legitimate issue to debate. We could go into that. But it's too late, the amendment doesn't say that. And so that's not an option in front of us.
May 10, 2011
If the gentleman wanted to make sure that the judges of Alabama and Florida were included, then maybe the amendment should have been written that way, and I think we would have a strong point of debate and that would be a legitimate item…

I want to apologize. I was confused as to whether the gentleman was asking a rhetorical question or really wanted to have a colloquy. By the time I figured that out, he had moved on to the remainder of his argument. I would have been happy…

I will close by saying that this amendment, though well intended, is duplicative; and I think that has been admitted by the other side and therefore is unnecessary. I would urge a ``no'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time. The…

I have no other speakers, so at this point I am going to wait and close as soon as the gentlelady is done. I reserve the balance of my time.

I would like to address the issue of safety that has been raised a couple of times here. I quoted from the bill text earlier to show that there, indeed, are safety requirements that have been put into the bill as part of H.R. 1229: The…

I would like to say, I have been listening very closely and I still haven't heard a clear answer as to how $4 billion of additional taxes on energy companies will translate into lower costs at the pump. Now, I don't think it can be done…
May 10, 2011
I would like to point out that anyone who reads the bill will see on the bottom of page 1 and the top of page 2, ``Safety review required. The Secretary shall not issue a permit under paragraph one without ensuring that the proposed…

At this point I would like to yield 1 minute to a new member of the committee who represents a district right on the gulf coast and is passionate about what is happening and not happening down there and what should be happening, the…

In closing, Mr. Chairman, I would just point out that the Governor of Virginia supports this, the majority of the House Members from Virginia support this without the amendment, and the Democratic Senators from Virginia have in the past…

Thank you all for being here, and I especially want to welcome the witness from Colorado.

To wrap up, like many Americans, I enjoy much of NPR's programming; but let it live on its own. It can do that simply by changing its business model. Just take the taxpayer out of the equation.
Mar 15, 2011
Some in Congress or in the Administration who profess to be on the side of the working man turn around and support energy policies of this Administration which put men and women out of work in the Gulf and elsewhere.

Just because you have invested in a lease doesn't even mean that oil or natural gas may be found there.

Thank you. I would like to thank the witnesses for their valuable testimony and their patience and for being here today.

I approve of what--and am happy that President Obama in his State of the Union address addressed duplication.
