I thank the gentleman for his comments, and I especially lend my agreement to his comments relative to the situation at Guantanamo Bay. I yield back the balance of my time. Amendment Offered by Mr. Gosar

I appreciate the gentleman yielding and rise in strong support of his amendment. The committee has a tradition of protecting whistleblowers. In fact, we have accepted, during consideration of the bill, an amendment to do so 2 days ago. I…

I appreciate the gentleman taking the time and would also join him in thanking all of the staff of the subcommittee as well as the full committee. People ought to appreciate the discerning judgment that they bring to their work, their…

This is perhaps the fourth or fifth debate we have had on biofuels and their limitation relative to the Department of Defense, but I do feel compelled to continue to remind my colleagues that we do have an energy problem in the United…

The gentleman has enumerated a number of terrorist organizations in countries, and I don't think there is a Member of Congress who would suggest that they are up to any good at any moment in time, but the amendment attempts to treat these…

I appreciate the gentleman's remarks. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

I appreciate very much this is the third iteration of a very similar amendment, so my comments will also mirror those that I have made earlier in the debate. The first thing I would make clear to the gentleman from Texas, though, is I am…

I would, again, simply assert that the comparison of a gallon of gasoline at a local station compared to getting it to a jet aircraft for the Department of Defense perhaps is not necessarily comparing apples to apples. I renew my objection…

I just want to correct the statement that my colleague just made. At the outset of my remarks, I was careful to note, because in the gentleman's original remarks he said that some would suggest he had offered his amendment to defend the…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. I certainly appreciate the fact that the gentleman is looking to be very cost effective in avoiding the expenditure of unnecessary funds and strongly support his position. I appreciate his offering the…

I appreciate the gentleman offering the amendment and speaking out on behalf of the dignity of labor, whatever human labor that may be, and certainly believe that the amendment is acceptable to the committee. Thank you very much.

I appreciate her yielding. I appreciate her devotion to the issue and to the victims of these crimes and rise in strong support of her position, and I appreciate not only her work but for offering the amendment today.

I appreciate the gentlewoman for offering the amendment. I certainly would rise in support of it and certainly think it is acceptable to the committee. I would point out to my colleagues though that, if you would, your view has been…

I would join the chairman in thanking the gentleman for his initiative. He raises a very good point, and I support his amendment.

I appreciate the gentlewoman for yielding. The fact is the gentlewoman has mentioned this authorization is very dated. The world has changed. It needs to be reconsidered. I deeply appreciate her efforts not just today on the floor, but in…

I want to thank the gentlewoman for her service and for her commitment to her constituents, to her country, and to the Ukrainian people. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. Amendment Offered by Mr. Runyan

I claim the time in opposition to the gentleman's amendment, although I am not opposed to his amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Indiana is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

This debate will mirror one that took place earlier today. The fact is I would talk about flexibility. The gentleman talks about the costs involved. I think, when you develop new products, new technologies, there is going to be a cost, as…

The gentleman talks about the burden. The gentleman talks about the requirement. I would talk about our requirement to ease the burden on the American people as far as our continued dependency on fossil fuel, on overseas options as far as…

I appreciate the gentleman's comment that we should look around the world and see what is happening. I look in the Pacific, and I am struck because of the gentleman's concern about the Department of Defense and the commander for the United…

I appreciate the heartfelt arguments and the concern of the gentleman who serves on the committee. We had a discussion of this amendment in committee, and it did fail on a voice vote. I would agree with the gentleman when he said that the…

The gentleman has spoken much about the spiritual role of chaplains in the military. I am very concerned that the impulse here is related to sexual orientation and the limitation in serving as a chaplain in the United States military. I…

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 Arkansas will be postponed.

I would point out, relative to the gentleman's suggestion that we need to make sure the laws of the land are followed, that that is exactly what we do in this bill. Chairman Frelinghuysen had an amendment in the full committee, which I…
