I thank the gentleman from South Carolina. I reserve the balance of my time.

May I inquire how much time do I have remaining, Mr. Chairman? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado has 4 minutes remaining.

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 the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

But Congress specifically omitted the word 'willfully' from this statute.

One purpose of security procedures for classified information is to prevent hostile nations from obtaining classified information.

And what I am suggesting to you is that the breadth of this survey that you are giving undermines the constitutional requirement that we know how many people live in this country and where they live so that we can have a political system…

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. Vacating Demand for Recorded Vote on Amendment Offered By Mr…

I appreciate the gentleman's support of this amendment and not opposition to this amendment. This amendment simply says that the military must determine the most cost-effective method. It does not ban renewables at all. Mr. Chair, I…

I see it happening in Colorado. When farmers can't afford water their crops lie withering in the fields.

The effect is really twofold. On the one hand, where a species should be delisted it would take much longer...

One of the beauties of Wyoming is this common sense. Does that encourage or discourage people from filing lawsuits...

If the law changed, we could arrange, in the situation where they are not victims of human smuggling or seeking asylum, we could arrange for those individuals to be returned to those countries without going through the 5- to 7-year hearing…

So would you need an act of Congress to require--obviously we are not going to name a company or a particular technology, but we would certainly require opioids to be dispensed in some kind of safe container.

We are now dealing with a situation where there are a huge number of young people who get these opioids from their parents' medicine cabinet.

The damage done both to our prestige, you know, the symbolism of that failed investment and the taxpayer here to me outweighs the risk of making an investment.

Isn't that a better way to determine ethanol consumption in this country than to have either Congress or the EPA make that decision for consumers?

So many of us believe the RFS is a failure because we have standards that are arbitrarily set and somehow the marketplace is supposed to react.

And that demand for ethanol drives up food prices?
