We still see approximately 3,000 deaths, 17,000 injuries, and $3 billion spent annually as a result of wildfires across the country. In many ways, wildfires lack parity with nearly every other natural disaster and are hugely underfunded…

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

My amendment, which I offer along with Mr. Lowenthal and Mr. Peters, would simply remove one of the so-called policy riders from this bill. It is a particularly dangerous policy rider. What my amendment would do is it would strip the bill…

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 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…

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.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of adoption. The vote…

We have one legislative day until the expiration of the Export-Import Bank's authorization. We are going to get to talk about this EPA rule in a few minutes, but there are many Members on my side of the aisle who want to bring forward in…

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…

If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to the rule to allow for consideration of legislation that would reauthorize the Export-Import Bank for 7 years. The Export-Import Bank allows American businesses to compete in…

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…

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…

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?

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.

I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in opposition to the rule which, once again, deprives Members of this body the opportunity…

I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Wisconsin (Ms. Moore), the ranking member on the Financial Services Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade.

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

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

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