Reclaiming my time, there's just a particular sector. Maybe they have a lot of lobbyists. Maybe they're a big special interest, they own cows. We're going to bail them out because the price of hay has gone up. That's what we're talking…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I didn't like this underlying bill in its original form. I voted against several components of it on Judiciary Committee, and it's a lost opportunity because there was real…

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 of the…

I thank the gentlelady for the time. The bill before us here, referencing H.R. 783, is the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 2011. It is a bipartisan bill, sponsored by the gentlemen from Virginia…

I yield the gentlewoman an additional 30 seconds. Ms. DeLAURO. There is a better way forward. Let's take up the bill that was passed by the Senate, a bill that provides continued tax relief for the vast majority of American families. Let's…

Reclaiming my time, again, in the absence of an actual House Resolution 783, I thought perhaps it was an erroneous reference to H.R. 783. Again, it is unclear what we are debating, but I know that we have somebody here who wants to debate…

Prior to yielding to the gentlelady from Connecticut, I just want to the ask the gentlelady from North Carolina, what is House Resolution 783? We're having trouble locating it. I yield to the gentlelady.

Reclaiming my time, again, looking at the THOMAS registry, H.R. 783 is called the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act.

Reclaiming my time, if I can ask the Clerk to read the current resolution before us. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the Clerk will report the resolution. There was no objection. The Clerk read the resolution.

Reclaiming my time, this is the bill that is referenced in the resolution that the Clerk read. I heard that. And I am here ready to discuss the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 2011, but I can't find…

But let us get on to it. Again, the corresponding change does not exist in the spirit of bipartisanship. I was informed that my party was willing to withdraw their objection to a change that would have made a proper reference in this…

I want to thank my colleague, Mr. Perlmutter from Colorado, not only for bringing forward this resolution, but for spending time with those affected in the aftermath of this. I'd also like to thank President Obama for immediately changing…

If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to the rule to make in order an amendment which proposes that Congress will not adjourn until the President signs middle class tax cuts into law. With that, I would like to…

My home State of Colorado had a tragedy over the weekend, a mass murder that will forever remain on the minds of all Coloradans and all Americans. The tragedy extends beyond those who were killed and those who were injured to our friends…

I'm prepared to close. Bad bill, bad idea, bad rule. I urge a ``no'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time.

I would like to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts, the distinguished ranking member of the Committee on Natural Resources, Mr. Markey.

I thank the gentleman from Utah for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the rule and the underlying bill, H.R. 4402, the National Strategic and Critical…

Well, in briefly addressing the gentleman from California, I would encourage him to support President Obama's proven track record of success in accelerating the access to public lands, a 17 percent improvement in speed of access over the…

We have one remaining speaker at this point. We might have one other, but we have one currently here.

It's my honor to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).

In this bill before us today, there are several provisions about which I think the American people would be very angry, and they will be very angry when they find out what this body is up to. In this bill before us today, Members of…

I would like to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lee).

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title I (page 6, after line 6) insert the following: SEC. __. LIMITATION ON HYDRAULIC…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 245, nays 178, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll No…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule XX, this 15-minute vote on ordering the previous question will be followed by 5-minute votes on adoption of the…
