Would it surprise the gentleman from Arizona that they are actually using duct tape to try to seal leaks from methane plumes in New Mexico? Does the gentleman think that is allowed?

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 6, line 25, insert ``on Federal lands and of Federal minerals'' after ``development''. The CHAIR. Pursuant to…

My colleague from Arizona (Mr. Gosar) in the previous debate, had some incredible charts that he was displaying. In it, he proclaimed: The rocks shall set you free. I was born and raised, and my faith taught me, that the truth shall set…

I simply want to respond to my colleague that was just speaking. This area is within those exterior boundaries of the archeological sites and findings and indigenous lands that we referred to as Chaco. I would invite my colleague to come…

I think the gentleman and I may actually be able to find some common ground. There are available technologies today--as the gentleman may know, being in tune with modern technology associated with oil and gas exploration--that can identify…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding, because one of the resolutions from the two chapters was raised, and think it was raised by the gentleman as well, so I just wanted to make sure we had a chance to review that. So if that resolution is…

I am optimistic that this amendment may even pass on a voice vote because I have been listening closely to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle about the importance of providing clarifying language to ensure that we are able to…

Just to close, I very much appreciate the attention that was brought to section 6 of the amendment, which very clearly states that nothing in this act, number one, affects the mineral rights of an Indian Tribe or member of an Indian Tribe…

There is a little bit of irony on this amendment that, again, I can't overlook, and we raised it a little bit earlier. The previous debate, which was around protecting the Grand Canyon, included an argument from my colleague that there…

I listened closely to the words of my colleague on the other side of the aisle and, Mr. Chairman, he said something that matters very much to me as well: That New Mexico knows best. New Mexico knows best. The governor of the State of New…

I am here to speak on the importance of Title X Family Planning programs and to condemn the Trump administration's misguided efforts to prevent patients from making fully informed health decisions. This week, the House will begin to…

I want to share a story of one of my constituents, Rayen. Her story is hard to hear, but we cannot tune it out. When Rayen first reached out for protection, her partner, Daniel, had struck her with a wrench, raped her, and strangled her to…

I am proud to stand before you today in strong support of H.R. 1. Mr. Speaker, I want to start by thanking Congressman Sarbanes, Speaker Pelosi, Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren, and my colleagues for their work on this issue. H.R. 1 is historic…

I urge adoption of this amendment, I urge adoption of H.R. 1, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Lujan). The amendment was agreed to…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 285, line 1, insert ``and the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology'' after…

Our democracy is at its best when all voices are heard. Unfortunately, whether due to an antiquated voting system or restrictive voter laws, too many Americans face too many obstacles to participating in our elections. There is also an…

The pain from this Trump shutdown is being felt deeply in every corner of my district in New Mexico and across America. We have farmers and ranchers that are unable to plan for their production. Tribal communities are facing disruptions in…

I was unexpectedly detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 40. ____________________

New Mexicans are working tirelessly to provide for their families. They do not have the luxury of ignoring their bills until the President figures out what it takes to run a government. President Trump clearly does not understand the…

My Republican colleagues come down here to say they are supporting and protecting tribal sovereignty with this amendment. Let's take a hard look at their track record on these issues. They seem to only want to support tribal sovereignty…

For more than two decades, Congressman Jerry Costello of Illinois has served the people of his district and his state with distinction. Congressman Costello represents the type of individual we need here in this body to advance the…

This amendment is straightforward. It's about protecting hunting and fishing. That's how simple this is. Sadly, a similar amendment was rejected by the Rules Committee, who had a similar debate over oil and gas leasing. But I rise in…

This Republican majority's effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act is bad legislation that would undermine significant advancements of the delivery of health care services to all Americans. But let me be clear: this bill would repeal the…

I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock). Mr. McCLINTOCK. I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Grijalva) stated the facts very clearly. In the 1950s, the Federal…

We thank the gentleman from Utah for his hard work, and I yield back the balance of my time.
