As painful as it is to listen to all of that nonsense on the other side, I am glad to have logical people speak on this side. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Shimkus).

I listened to the presentation of the author of this bill. I have been in this House 48 years. We have been arguing about this ANWR for 40 of those years. We have passed it out of the house 14 times. And by the way, it was established by a…

We discussed before that this bill was written by the gentleman from California. It only impacts Alaska and impacts it only, and I am the only Congressman. I strongly oppose this legislation. My amendment, very frankly, was to try to solve…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: On page 1, line 6, strike ``Section'' and insert the following: (a) Section On page 1, after line 7, insert the…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Mr. Speaker, this is about fairness, and when you have been in this office as long as I have been--I was here when we passed the 1984, the 1985, and the 1986 gaming laws--we tried and expected to do…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Blackburn). Without objection, it is so ordered. (The remarks of Mr. Young pertaining to the introduction of S. 2063 are printed in…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Alaska is recognized for 5 minutes.
