I want to commit, like Senator Alexander did, to make sure that the victims are made whole on this.

So what eventually is going to happen with these substances? What is your plan you have right now to deal with these thousands and thousands of pounds of toxic substances and hazardous substances?

I hope we look at the full costs here in terms of all of our energy sources.

Now, my understanding, when we talk about whether we list it under RCRA, is that we are dealing with hazardous substances here.

I think it is tremendously important that when we look at the cost of coal or renewable energy or nuclear we look at the full costs that are out there.

Every time you fill your tank, 40 percent of your gasoline bill goes to foreign oil--an oil dependence tax on consumers that it is likely to go up in the future as oil supplies diminish.

The era of cheap oil is over, and fossil fuels are unsustainable.

I think that most drivers and truckers in America believe we are going to see $150 oil and $4-$5 gasoline and diesel sometime again in the not-too-distant future.

We must see that flight attendants are trained in a way that allows us to ensure the safety of those people in their care, our Nation's fliers. But this amendment can do much more. It may also help to ensure the safety of those who were…

I would urge the rest of my colleagues to join me and my friends in passing this amendment and putting America on a path to a more secure energy future, create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and reduce the energy bills for our children and…

President Bush said last week al Qaeda in Iraq attacked us on 9/11. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is there was no al Qaeda in Iraq on 9/11. In fact, we helped create al Qaeda in Iraq by our invasion. And what we are…

They want to commit to a specific cut. They came into the G8 meeting saying let's have a specific cut on CO<INF>2</INF> emissions; and our President went over and sidetracked that and derailed that and basically said, no, we don't want to…

I rise today in honor of two Navajo Indians and celebrate the American heroes who passed away last week. Stewart Clah and Charles Guy were members of the elite Navajo Code Talkers. They did not simply rely on their ancestral language to…

The important legislation before us today, H.R. 545, allows tribal governments to apply for three programs vital to the fight against methamphetamine: the COPS Meth Hot Spots program, the Drug-Endangered Children program, and the Pregnant…

My uncle, Mo Udall, served here in the House of Representatives for 30 years. For the last 10 years, he served with Parkinson's disease, and every day his friends and colleagues saw this crippling disease take a little piece of him…

There are ecologically sound ways to do salvage logging. This amendment assures that the science is followed. All we are asking is that the Secretary, in approving one of these projects, certify it will not increase forest-fire risk, and…

I am just going to close at this point, so I reserve my time. The Acting CHAIRMAN. Both sides have 30 seconds remaining. The gentleman from Oregon may reserve the balance of his time to close. The gentleman from New Mexico has 30 seconds…

As the majority has stated, this noncontroversial bill makes technical amendments to a variety of laws relating to Native Americans and Alaska Natives. The House passed H.R. 3351 last year on the suspension calendar, and the legislation…

We support passage of H.R. 177, the water recycling and desalting projects authorized in this bill. These projects will be eligible for limited financial assistance under the Bureau of Reclamation's title XVI water recycling program. These…

The Taunton area to be included in the study authorized by H.R. 1512 is rich in cultural and historic resources. A comprehensive study of these resources will help determine if inclusion within the National Park System is appropriate. The…

As stated by my friend and colleague the gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Pearce), the overall purpose of this legislation is to reauthorize the appropriations and to make minor technical and clarifying changes to the National Fish and…

President Bush, your Justice Department legal team is failing you, and failing you miserably. Tobacco companies have bilked the consumer for hundreds of billions of dollars. I am proud to say that State attorneys general recovered $215…

The House passed similar royalty relief legislation in the 108th Congress. The bill before us contains provisions sponsored by the gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Pearce) and the gentlewoman from Wyoming (Mrs. Cubin). We have no objection…

The Committee on Resources and the 108th Congress approved legislation identical to H.R. 1046. We have no objection to this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I rise in opposition to S.256, because this bill severely hurts a middle-class citizen's ability to get a second chance.
