Senator Stabenow, I want to be sure that we clarify any confusion about the Finance Committee's intent when we adopted your amendment, C-7, on pediatric dental coverage. As I understand it, the Senator's intent was to ensure that…

We are respectfully writing to thank you for scheduling a hearing on S.1090, the Tennessee Wilderness Act of 2011.

What are you protecting these lands from? Do you think non-use is the answer?

How can you think 'wilderness on the border', which locks the public and the Border Patrol out of those areas, to be acceptable?

Your Senate Bill 1024 will eliminate the District's access to key areas of this watershed to perform any watershed restoration projects.

S.1024 is the same bill as the original Wilderness Bill with only minor changes.

I, as a long time New Mexico resident, am greatly offended by Senator Bingaman's 'my way or the highway' attitude.

Senator Jeff Bingaman's bill S-1024 is a further government intrusion into the rights of all citizens by depriving them access to areas covered by this unacceptable bill.

I am opposed to the wilderness bill S.1024 because the bill as written does not allow for routine access by law enforcement personnel.

Senator Bingaman and a wide range of local governments, communities, user groups, conservationists, and Federal agencies have worked collaboratively to develop this consensus proposal to protect all of these special areas.

I would ask consent to include Commissioner Bersin's entire letter in the record.

A report from CRS that Senator Inhofe and I requested tells a much different story.

I strongly support both nominations.

The Commission concluded that enhancements intended to provide a greater commemoration of World War I may be better suited at the National World War I Memorial in Pershing Park

The Commission recognized that the District of Columbia World War Memorial has a unique significance to the citizens of the District of Columbia

Proponents of domestic manufacturing have argued that a larger, more stable gas supply at competitive prices will lead to a resurgence of investment in manufacturing and job creation.

Concerns about our dependence on foreign oil have led some to propose switching to more use of natural gas in the transportation sector.

The international focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change has favored the lower carbon intensity of natural gas for power generation.

In recent years a number of factors have combined to raise the prominence of natural gas as a resource.

I would like to announce that the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources will hold a business meeting on Thursday, July 21, 2011, at 10 a.m., in room SD-366 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The purpose of the business meeting is…
