I thank the gentleman. Mr. Chair, I join the chairman in opposing this amendment. It is, truly, a blunt cut--5 percent to the Department of Energy from its current level with no analysis, no consultation, no consideration of impact. It is…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona will be postponed. Amendment No. 29 Offered by Mr. Garamendi

May I inquire how much time I have remaining, please? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio has 2 minutes remaining.

Okay. I thank the Chair so very much. In such case, I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes.

I would like to assure the Members that the following amendment is the one that we are debating: ``None of the funds made available by this act may be used to revoke funding previously awarded to or within the State of North Carolina.'' Is…

I thank the chairman very much for yielding and join him in opposing this, I think, well-intentioned amendment. The amendment would actually cut funding for the oversight of existing loans. I don't think, in view of some of the things that…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I think Congresswoman Lujan Grisham has done such a phenomenal job here, and I appreciate her interest in the necessity of desalinization work and how important the Department of Energy is in finding a…

I would commit to working with the very able gentlewoman from New Hampshire to see what progress we could make on this very important issue.

I rise for a couple reasons. One is to wish my noble brother well back home. The other is to yield to the gentlewoman from New Hampshire (Ms. Kuster) to enter into a colloquy.

If she were a civil service survivor, she could receive both benefits; and if she were over the age of 37, she could receive both benefits. Her husband gave his life for liberty. She is a veteran, too. We must honor their sacrifice as we…

You really do inspire people, including the people at the Department of Energy and people outside the Department of Energy.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Too few Americans realize just what an enormous energy revolution is happening around our world, but it is a credit to your work.

I would like to recognize the exceptional job you have done at the Department of Energy and in service to our country.

I am glad this is being broadcast. This is an example, this committee, of Congress working well, but it doesn't get enough publicity.

But I want to ensure that our National Guardsmen are getting the opportunities they deserve.

I am concerned that the code used to activate them does not provide the full range of benefits, health care, education, retirement as for other enlisted levels.
