We have, and we will continue to work with them.

It is not grazing that causes the decrease in the sage grouse habitat, it is, as you mentioned, invasive species and the wildfires that are causing the decrease in the habitat.

it was a surprise to us to see that the President's request for this year includes a cut for both programs

Local governments in Nevada are struggling to provide essential services, and these revenues are critical, these geothermal revenues.

if you take the sage grouse and you put them under the Endangered Species Act, it is going to have huge impacts on our farmers and ranchers throughout the State of Nevada

Thousands of Nevadans have been surveyed and an overwhelming number oppose the government takeover of health care. Yet two-thirds of Nevada's delegation will defy their constituents and vote with their leadership instead. This $2.6…

I thank my friend for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4825. I commend my colleague from Arizona for bringing this legislation to the floor. Our $12 trillion debt will burden future generations, and this legislation…

Another day, another missed opportunity. Nevada's unemployment rate is at 13 percent. So you have to ask the question: Where are the jobs? I do tele-town hall meetings weekly in my district. I survey thousands. The question asked is: What…

I hope it continues to be that way, too.

Today, perhaps more than ever, Nevada depends on a strong transportation system for commerce and mobility to support economic stability and job growth.

Nevada's transportation programs are facing a severe funding shortfall crisis.

Funding for transportation projects is needed to accommodate Nevada's rapidly growing population, especially during these tough economic times.

Tourism is the lifeblood of Nevada's economy.

Maintaining and expanding I-80 infrastructure will alleviate traffic, improve traffic safety, and help small businesses grow in all of these communities.

I stand beside Nevada's communities, counties, and the State to provide a top ranked transportation system that supports Nevada's economy and mobility in a fiscally, socially, and environmentally smart manner.

Those who broke the law need to be brought to justice; however, I do have some concerns that this particular issue is being used to advance another agenda.

I share the serious concerns nearly all Members have that the practices that occurred must come to a halt.

My primary concern is that changes made to the mining law should not serve to increase our dependence on foreign sources of mineral resources that our nation needs.

Let me be clear. The onerous mining law reform proposed by my colleague will not only threaten the domestic viability of large mining companies.

I want to thank the Ranking Member Lamborn also for the opportunity to be here.

My fear after consulting with my constituents is that the cost imposed by this legislation will put them out of business, which will consequently increase economic problems in my state.

We can ill-afford to lose any jobs in Nevada, or anywhere else for that matter.

We have to get our mineral resources from somewhere, and I believe that we should get them in a responsible manner from domestic resources mined by American workers.

I would like to encourage the Committee to reconsider and to take a look at that again.

While I applaud my colleague's effort to modernize mining law, I am concerned about the consequences of this bill as written.
