I have six more speakers, Mr. Chairman. Mr. DeFAZIO. I have no more speakers except myself, so I would suggest the gentleman go ahead. I reserve the balance of my time.

I yield myself an additional 15 seconds. Mr. Chairman, I would encourage all of my colleagues to join me today in supporting this important piece of commonsense legislation. I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Chairman, may…

At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Latta).

At this time I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Shuster).

We just have one more speaker, and I will close after that. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Chairman, I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I yield myself 2 minutes of the time. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of H.R. 3590, the Sportsmen's Heritage And Recreational Enhancement Act of 2013, or the SHARE Act. I would like to talk a little bit about title VIII of the bill…

I thank the chairman and the ranking member, who had to do a lot of work on this bill over the years, and I rise today in support of the Agriculture Act of 2014. This measure is important for farms and hardworking families in northern…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support the rights of the unborn and to urge my colleagues to do everything within their legal power to help protect the most innocent and defenseless citizens of our great Nation. I…

I have difficulty with the fact that we never seem to identify a person who is responsible for the follow up.

I cannot believe that a, you know, something must have been wrong.

I have got this VA Accountability Act which would actually make the VA identify somebody within the VA who is responsible.

I hope that you all will tell our colleagues on the floor to consider voting for this VA Accountability Act

What can we do better to identify, you know, the people who manage this system and to make them accountable for these errors?

What can we do? I guess really the problem to me is accountability.

I would like to thank you all as well for being here and taking the time to sit before us to answer questions.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Chairman Hastings, I would like to thank you and Ranking Member DeFazio and the committee staff for your commitment to moving H.R. 163, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Conservation and Recreation Act…

I thank the gentleman. I rise today in support of H.R. 3080, as well as a bipartisan amendment that we will have on the floor later today. This bill works to address our Nation's competitiveness and increasing economic growth by…

it's very, very important that we consider national park rules that have local input and not allow folks in Washington to determine how we use our land in the States.

whenever we cede authority to the Federal Government of our lands without having local input or local people being involved, we risk these arbitrary rules coming forward that affect the people locally.

I thank my colleague from Illinois for allowing me to speak here today, and I want to thank you for hosting this Special Order hour in general. Mr. Speaker, although we speak today at a time when Members are very busy working to resolve…

Pain can be an unrelenting enemy - one that thwarts an individual's ability to work and enjoy the activities they once loved.

These policies are indefensible. And they should be changed.

Well it sounds as if that Dr. Gray and the other doctor were encouraged not to refer people, but encouraged to use narcotics.
