I thank the gentleman, my colleague, for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I strongly oppose the amendment from my good friend from Colorado. Like amendments that have come before this, this amendment will do the exact opposite of what we are trying…

I appreciate your attention to that as we are looking forward to any other package that may come forward.

Providing access to credit is going to be ultimately critical to being able to do that.

I would like to see from you, has there been any oversight to be able to do what I believe was the congressional intent...

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in opposition to the resolution on the floor today. We agree that the Community Reinvestment Act is an important historic piece of legislation; however, my friends across the aisle have…

We would like to echo some of the same comments that were made by my colleague in regard to making sure that we know where the dollars are going and showing some fiscal restraint as well.

Last year marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. While I wish the House would have passed this bill last year to honor the centennial anniversary of the suffragettes' decades-long fight to win the right to…

I thank both my colleagues for their kind words on this legislation. Madam Chair, the Yucca House National Monument is in Montezuma County, Colorado, very near to my hometown of Cortez. It is one of the largest archaeological sites in…

The majority of the land in Title I of the underlying bill would be converted into wilderness and it is in my district. While I am never pleased when another Member of the House tries to tell my constituents what is best for them, I get…

I am grateful that my colleague, who I also have a lot of respect for, did come down to Montezuma County. I hope while the gentlewoman was there, she had the opportunity to spend a little money, buy a few presents to take back and help an…

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 No. 10 Offered by Mr. Tipton The Acting CHAIR. It is…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Colorado will be postponed. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. McClintock The Acting CHAIR. It…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: After section 105, insert the following: SEC. 106. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STUDY ON IMPACTS THAT THE…

I would like to thank my colleague, Mr. Cunningham, for putting forward this amendment. I do rise in opposition, though I am not opposed, ultimately, to the amendment. I am glad to join my colleague from South Carolina as a cosponsor…

I appreciate the comments of Ms. DeGette of Colorado, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tipton). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment…

I do rise in opposition to the amendment before us. Apparently, the bill that is before us today didn't include enough wilderness in my district. As we see in this amendment, we are now trying to be able to add more. The amendment adds an…

You had included something that came out of some of our hearings: expanding broadband.

We would like, Madam Chairwoman, to be able to introduce that into the record with unanimous consent.

I thank my colleague from Washington for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today to be able to highlight the importance of modernizing the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service states that it implements the Endangered…

I am a little dismayed with some of the comments that have been made here today.

I would like to encourage you and the Administration to continue those policies that are creating opportunity for so many Americans, and to reject those that are going to be seeking to be able to redistribute income.

Despite some of this historic growth, we have some of our colleagues across the Capitol and in Governor's mansions across the country who are trying to upend our capitalistic system that has benefitted the majority of Americans in this…
