You have heard that the legislation before you now, ``Screw Nevada 2.0,'' is a work of compromise, a bipartisan effort, not perfect, but a step forward. Well, that, frankly, is an opinion. It is not the facts. Here are the facts: The…

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 1, strike line 1 and all that follows through the end of the Rules Committee Print, and insert the…

My amendment, which is also supported by my Nevada colleague (Mr. Kihuen) is very simple and straightforward. It sets up consent-based site decisionmaking as an alternative to ``Screwing Nevada 2.0,'' which just continues the process that…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 5- minute vote on passage of the bill will be followed by a 5-minute vote on agreeing to the Speaker's approval of the…

I thank the gentleman for those kind words and for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I represent Las Vegas, which is the heart of southern Nevada. We have over 2 million people, and we welcome 40 million people from around the world every year…

Well, this is just more of the same. It is politics, pure and simple. It is three decades later. We have heard we spent $15 billion. All you got is a hole in the ground. This is ``Screw Nevada 2.0.'' I am going to offer an amendment that…

I hope that the Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources... will keep in mind the impacts of climate change.

As the Democratic chair of the Congressional Travel and Tourism Caucus, I rise to celebrate the 35th annual National Travel and Tourism Week, which provides us an opportunity to showcase the importance of travel and tourism in creating…

I thank the gentleman very much for yielding. Mr. Chair, I come to the floor as a cosponsor of H.R. 4. It is legislation that is long overdue in addressing the immediate and long- term needs of the FAA and our aviation industry. It…

After testifying before the Rules Committee last night on my amendment to this bill, H.R. 4, a worthy amendment that, by the way, was not made in order and will not be debated or voted on by this body, I felt compelled to speak about the…

I would like to speak specifically, though, about the Global Electoral Exchange Act, and salute Congressmen Castro and Meadows for introducing this bill.

Amendment to the amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 5274 offered by the Honorable Dina Titus, a Representative in Congress from the State of Nevada.

It still represents a drastic 33 percent cut.

I have great respect for USAID. I think the work you do is amazing.

I don't know how it can continue if you're going to just eliminate that program.

I think it's a travesty.

I think eliminating programs in both of these two areas for both of these population groups is a mistake.

I think our Disability Act is just the best in the world.

We do not see it as a Democratic or a Republican matter but as something that we as a Nation need to invest in.

I am a co-sponsor of House Resolution 644, which strongly condemns the slave auctions and exploitation of migrants and refugees in Libya.

I hope you will make that a priority. I have been hoping that for a while now.

I am here to once again remind my colleagues why the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository is an unworkable project. There are design flaws that the NRC's own analysis show lead to radioactive waste leaking into the water table, and…

I just worry that all of this is kind of conditional, and it is all in the future.

I miss being on this Committee. It truly was a collaborative effort.

I think you mentioned that two thirds of those who are in the early program are looking for some kind of review, would those be the ones who have to wait until next February?
