Getting more Americans working in tech businesses increases opportunities for all of our communities, not just in Silicon Valley.

I think there is some good bipartisan common ground here to find solutions.

Obamacare has not provided an affordable option for many Montanans.

Obamacare has robbed consumers of choice.

Let us be frank. Obamacare has robbed consumers of choice.

The internet is a lifeline for our rural communities. It contributes to our rural economies.

Border Patrol agents recently made the largest fentanyl bust in the agency's history. A suspect attempted to cross our southern border with nearly 400 pounds of meth and enough fentanyl to kill 57 million Americans. Montana faces a meth…

I came to Washington to solve problems, and that is what Montanans expect.

The red tape was a solution looking for a problem.

Ultimately, Congress can't and shouldn't turn over authority of unelected bureaucrats who can change how they treat the internet from administration to administration.

We should be focused instead on the rising cost of prescription drugs, telehealth, rural access to healthcare, and other measures to make healthcare more affordable and accessible.

Their plan would gut Medicare and the VA as we know it, and force 225,000 Montanan seniors who rely on Medicare to the back of the line.

It shouldn't be. We all agree on it.

While we look for long-term solutions to make healthcare costs more affordable and accessible, I remain firmly committed to protecting those with preexisting conditions.

The Federal Government has fully reopened, and Federal employees are back to work. While the shutdown is over, the crisis at the border remains. I recently toured the southern border in Arizona. Ranchers and Border Patrol agents told me…

I thank the gentlewoman from Missouri for focusing the attention of this Chamber on this crisis at our border and the need for reform. America's borders have been too open for too long. As a result, we face a humanitarian and national…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, Montanans didn't send me here to shut down the government, but they also didn't send me here to let their priorities die in a lameduck session that is in every part lame. I stand here still…

I thank the gentleman from Washington for yielding. This farm bill is a win for Montana's farmers and ranchers who work the land, feed our country and the world. As they know too well, weather and markets bring uncertainty. This farm bill…

I thank the gentleman for the time. Mr. Speaker, like many Montanans, I have a deep respect for our environment. I support protecting our rich and diverse wildlife and believe we can support multiple uses of land while conserving species…

I thank the gentleman from Utah for his comments, and especially for his leadership on this important issue, bringing the knowledge of local government here to this House to help us deal with this devastating situation out west. At this…

I thank the gentleman from Arizona for his principled approach to getting reform so we can start managing our forests again. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson), for his comments on…

I want to thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania, especially that he is a member of the Western Caucus joining us there, and pointing out the national implications of the massive wildfires we have out west on resources back east; on the…

The gentleman mentioned many of the things that--the livelihoods, the lives. You know, the other thing that we often neglect is the amount of smoke that is discharged into the air and the effect on people with asthma and other lung issues…

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for his comments. This past summer, nearly 7.7 million acres have burned across America. Wildfires consumed thousands of acres in Glacier National Park. The Howe Ridge Fire in Glacier National Park…

I urge adoption of this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Montana (Mr. Gianforte) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R…
