Bill Johnson

Put simply, energy security is national security.

We can do better. We must do better.

Put plainly, this is not an appropriate role for EPA or CEQ, neither of which oversee Federal land. The agencies consulted in the plan already must comply with existing requirements, so this amendment only serves to obstruct. H.R. 21 is…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I urge all Members to support the Perry amendment. While this amendment raises an issue that is different from this bill, it is an important facet to understanding the seriousness of the Energy…

The amendment violates clause 7 of rule XVI of the Rules of the House because it is not germane to the underlying bill. Specifically, the bill limits the drawdown of petroleum in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve until the Department of…

I do insist on the point of order. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will state the point of order.

I reserve a point of order against the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. A point of order is reserved. The gentlewoman from Michigan is recognized for 5 minutes.

I have no opposition to this amendment. This amendment would increase the percentage cap on Federal lands identified in DOE's replacement plan for oil and gas production, taking it from 10 percent to 15 percent. Mr. Chair, I support this…

This is another tactic to delay implementation of the underlying bill. Energy security is national security, and if my Democratic colleagues recognized this, they wouldn't need to abuse the SPR and attempt to offset the high prices caused…

Like so many other amendments that I have heard here tonight, this is one that really befuddles me that it is in the NDAA. This is something that should be adjudicated in the jurisdiction of the Energy and Commerce Committee, not something…

It is clearly not of the will of the parliamentary Conservative Party, that there should be a new leader. The herd instinct is powerful when the herd moves, it moves. How sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world. But them`s the…

It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and, therefore, a new prime minister.

It was all going well, and then not so well. And then really badly.

The anguish of losing a family member, let alone a child, is indescribable. I know that from personal experience.

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H.R. 3807. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Strickland). The gentleman's request is accepted. ____________________

I think it’s very important that we work together to get this thing done as fast as possible. The harder are our sanctions, the tougher are our economic vice around the Putin regime, the more we can do to help the Ukrainians. I think the…

I will make you one other prediction, by the way, which is that the stuff that you`re hearing about chemical weapons, this is straight out of their playbook. They start saying that there are chemical weapons that have been stored by their…

A Russian invasion of Ukraine would end in a humanitarian, political and military disaster for Russia.

I deeply and bitterly regret that that happened.

Nobody said that this was something that was against the rules.

I welcome permits decision to conduct its own investigation.

Invading Ukraine, from a Russian perspective, is going to be a painful, violent and bloody business.

I know that millions of people across this country have made extraordinary sacrifices over the last 18 months. I know the rage. They feel with me with the government I lead when they think that in Downing Street itself, the rules are not…

No one should be in any doubt there is a tidal wave of Omicron coming. And I'm afraid it is now clear that two doses of vaccine are simply not enough.

The longer we fail to act, the worse it gets, and the higher the price when we are eventually forced by catastrophe to act.
