I find that very, very troubling, when the terms 'privilege' are being used here to, what I see, hide what is going on here.

During a recent Homeland Security Oversight Committee hearing, we learned just how deeply flawed the ObamaCare Web site was upon its launch. The problems with this Web site went well beyond error messages and Americans being unable to…

A war on coal is a war on Crow families.

Well, I find it very troubling here, then, that the OSM's actions are being determined by court settlements with habitual litigants.

We love grizzly bears in Montana. Their populations are expanding, since they have been listed.

My experience, too, as a fifth-generation Montanan, is the ESA is about listing species more so than it is actually about recovery.

I think we have listed over 2,000 species, and recovery of around 1 percent. So how can we say that is the strongest environmental legislation in the country, with, frankly, some pretty poor results?

I want to thank Congressman Mullin for the work he has done in leading this important bill and bringing it to the floor, as well as the bipartisan support from my distinguished friend and Member from Arizona (Mr. Grijalva), as we are…

This weekend, the Bozeman High School girls cross-country team will be in Portland, Oregon, to run in the Nike Cross National Championship. These dedicated and talented young women have won seven consecutive Montana Class AA State…

Federal lands belong to the people.

We hope this bill along with other congressional action will work to prevent this from ever happening again.

We hope this bill, along with other congressional action, will work to prevent this from ever happening again.

It is rare we see much bipartisan agreement in this town.

We are encouraged by this committee's hard work and Representative Daines' proposal to ensure access to these public lands.

President Obama promised if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan; but for tens of thousands of Montanans, his words are nothing more than a broken promise that has resulted in canceled insurance plans and…

Today I rise to congratulate Vance Home Gun, a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes from Arlee, Montana. Vance was recently recognized as the 2013 Center for Native American Youth ``Champion of Change'' for his work to…

But my question is, if you knew that. As somebody who has the lead here of 20 years' experience, and if I quote your written testimony here, you have the lead for securing and defining Federal and civilian unclassified information, knowing…

The irony, perhaps, in this is that the failure of the website launch on Obamacare may indeed have been the best safeguard for the American people to protect their personal privacy.

As a taxpayer, I think it is outrageous as I have seen what has happened here, where we have taken $500 million--by some estimates--to what this project costs--taken out of the pockets of hard-working taxpayers into a system that has…

So if, indeed, what CBS reported here and Mr. Chao's testimony last week before a committee--if, indeed, there was limitless potential, as I quote the report, for security risks, knowing this would you have rolled out the HealthCare.gov…

Thank you for inviting me to be part of this important hearing, and for your leadership on these issues.

the government is shutting out these lands to their own people, and it is outrageous.

I appreciate that input. And I am a cosponsor of Representative Lummis of Wyoming's--her Government Litigation Savings Act.

I have to tell you that the title of this hearing is 'Threats, Intimidation, and Bullying by Federal Land Managing Agencies.'

Whenever I drive across Montana, I see signs of our State's strong ag heritage in about every turn in the road. From the fields of sugar beets and wheat to grazing cattle and sheep, these are visual reminders of the importance of…
