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 Montana will be postponed. {time} 1120 Amendment No. 77 Offered by Mr. Hunter The Acting…

I will have a rider on my appropriations bill that I write for the House of Representatives that will keep you from implementing this rule.

While I am pleased by DOL's announcement yesterday that it was going to resubmit the parental exemption portion of the NPRM, other provisions of this rule will still make it difficult if not impossible for youths interested in careers in…

We have come to the final act in any Law and Order episode. We have seen the crime. We have uncovered what happened. We have got the confession. Now it is time to pass sentence.

I respectably ask the committee to consider a legislative remedy to this problem, which threatens workplace safety in our industry.

My commonsense bill simply establishes the same requirement of congressional approval for new national monuments in Montana. With your support in this committee we can restore the Antiquities Act to its intended purpose. More importantly…

I didn't introduce the Montana Land Sovereignty Act to undermine the intent of the Antiquities Act. On the contrary, my legislation restores this valuable law to its original intention; that is, history, on the preservation of American…

Exxon stepped forward and said, 'We are responsible.'

We don't need Federal bureaucrats telling us how to manage our land and wildlife.

We must demand a third option, a way to utilize our natural resources while doing everything we can to protect the environment.

Second, if Congress moves forward with authorization of the Pipeline Infrastructure and Community Protection Act of 2011, I want to be absolutely certain that we are doing everything that we can to prevent future environmental, health…

If the gentleman will allow me to reclaim the gentleman's time, no, no, this was----

I make a point of order against the amendment because it proposes to change existing law and constitutes legislation in an appropriation bill and, therefore, violates clause 2 of rule XXI. The rule states in pertinent part: ``An amendment…

I am not proposing, nor would I ever suggest, limiting access to the Courts.

I think this Congress ought to spend its time on getting something that clearly understands nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal, oil, gas, coal, conservation and grants the loans to help us invent our way into the next generation rather than…

Nobody is going to deny that. If you are asking whether I think that our forests are mismanaged, I do believe that to be the case.

I would suggest the forests are in such terrible shape because of the lack of management...

I don't know why we are afraid of using the word logging because logging is nothing more than a tool to help us manage the forests.

It is renewable. Cap in tax is not the solution. An all of the above energy policy is the solution.
