A point of parliamentary inquiry. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry.

I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado is recognized for 5 minutes.

I would like to inquire how much time remains on both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Allen). The gentleman from Colorado has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Washington has 8 minutes remaining.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Gosar

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill, before the short title, insert the following: Sec. 441. None of the funds made available by this Act…

I am proud to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Ashford), a leader in the effort to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank.

I think the problem with the idea of the gentleman from Texas is that the base bill is so bad, it could take this body weeks or months to fix it. Meanwhile, we are 1 day away from the Export-Import Bank's reauthorization. At least let's…

You have heard what we will bring up if we defeat the previous question. You will now hear what this body under this rule has chosen to consider instead--a bill that, as Mr. Hoyer said, could be done any time and a bill that is bad. To…

We were hoping at least Mr. Boyle's would be accepted. But, Mr. Speaker, I yield to another Member of Congress from California (Mr. Cardenas), a leader in the fight to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, for the purpose of a unanimous…

I think that would be welcomed. If you can submit later, we would love to see a comparison between the NEPA process in the preferred solar zones and the regular NEPA process around solar outside of those zones.

Is there more that you can do administratively, of course, in addition to Congress and this committee taking up H.R. 2663, to streamline and reduce the cost or timeline for approving renewable energy projects?

Along those lines, I introduced a bill earlier this month with Representative Gosar, the bipartisan bill--H.R. 2663, the Public Lands Renewable Energy Development Act, that would streamline the regulatory and permitting process for wind…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to thank the Chairman for holding this hearing today, not because of some of the non-issues that the Majority continues to raise, but because I think this hearing speaks to the need for improvement in the…

If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to the rule to allow for the consideration of legislation that would reauthorize the Export-Import Bank for 7 years. To discuss our proposal, I yield 3 minutes to the…

I am an original sponsor of that bill and I strongly believe all workers should have access to this tool.

I want to thank you for your Department's work on the lifetime income disclosure regulation.

I believe that everyone in the room, on every side of this issue, believes in a 'Best-Interest or Fiduciary Standard' because the client's interest should be paramount.

I truly believe today that most advisers do what is in the best interest of their clients.

But so, too, without the right to collectively bargain we would not have the strong and growing economy that offers a pathway to the middle class for so many American families.

Without the right to self-governance, including additional rights that have often been afforded through treaty, we wouldn't have the strong Native American communities and nations that are present across our country today.

I truly hope that everyone on our committee will analyze this issue objectively and try to take the effort to understand what has been said here.

About 75 percent, I think, of the employees, I understand across the industry are not members of the tribe.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My first question, for Mr. Guest.
