So it is fair to me, if I want to talk about how that got created and where the boundaries are, I need to talk to Dan Ashe about it.

the attendance at that meeting was highly selective, and did not include some of the folks you would assume, counties affected, county commissioners.

But when we talk about things like maps that were brought up earlier, and it is like, okay, we got a new map that has a PJ and an urban overlay to it, and the RMP amendment process is not nimble.

I do not want you to work on. Your first question is, the Forest Service said they got their sagebrush focal area boundaries over their real estate from Fish and Wildlife Service.

The point is a process point. I am not asking you to come talk about this case. I want to know the process that says that is OK.

I don't usually show up unannounced or uninvited. But I have listened to the debate on this, and I find absolutely amazing the outpouring of abhorrence for potential gun violence from a body that failed to have a moment of silence for Kate…

God forbid we place dealing with bedrock American issues ahead of the culture of political cliche. It is always nice to be informed of what the status is in the Intermountain West by people from towns that end in the name ``Beach.'' I find…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you Madam Ranking Member. I also want to thank the chairman of the full committee as well as my cosponsors in this measure: Mr. Polis from Colorado, Mr. Shimkus from Illinois, and Mr. Jones from North…

I want to thank my colleagues from Pennsylvania and Utah and their committee work on this. Management reduces catastrophic wildfire. In the high desert rangelands of Nevada, as well as the conifer forests of such mountain ranges as the…

Removing those barriers at points that are upstream in the value chain is an excellent first step.

Mr. Amodei's legislation goes a long way to address this problem, and is a first step in addressing the Nation's troublesome dependence on foreign sources of mineral resources.

That is a very important point, that it doesn't require a yes, it requires a specific timeline in which to go through the NEPA process.

I encourage the members of this committee to evaluate the definition of strategic and critical materials.

What H.R. 1937 seeks to do is provide some predictability and stability to the permitting process.

The legislation introduced by Congressman Amodei provides common-sense steps that will allow the United States to streamline the permitting process and reduce bureaucratic red tape.

New York Times, get out of the way. Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, not good enough; keep trying harder. May 16 marks the 150th anniversary of the publishing of Nevada's oldest daily newspaper, the Nevada Appeal, published in its…

I begged those with the power in the voluntary standards community to reopen the standards process.

if going to Lake Tahoe is the best value, then you should go there

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Madam Administrator, does your agency have a protocol in place or policy or anything else like that to notify Members of Congress when you are planning on doing something in their district?

I think your BLM district manager and your Forest Service rangers historically have done a pretty good job.

I want to thank the chairman of the committee for yielding me this time, and I also thank my colleague from California, the ranking member, and also the subcommittee chairman, the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), for processing this…

I want to associate myself with the remarks of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle that went before me on this measure. I want to also say thank you to the House of Representatives for passing this bill again in the 113th Congress. It…

I thank the chairman, my colleague from Big Sky Country. This legislation would authorize the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe to grant waivers against both Fish Springs Ranch and the United States Government. The provisions would take effect…

Thank you for the chance to speak on programs at the Nevada National Security Site that are critical to our Nation's ability to ensure the safety and performance of our nuclear weapons stockpile and for the excellent job you and the…
