I tell you, in Oklahoma, they know energy. I think one of the first wells ever drilled in the United States of America was over in Oklahoma. And another place they know a lot about energy is down on the Gulf Coast in my adopted State of…

If we want to have more electrical vehicles on the road to lessen the carbon footprint, that electricity has got to be produced somehow.

I think walls do work and I think they create corridors that our law enforcement can better utilize.

I want to thank my colleagues for joining me on this. We all know that many of the homeless on our streets have mental issues, but my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are okay with allowing those homeless men in the bathrooms with…

I want to thank the gentleman for his Freudian slip because he knows we shouldn't allow men in the bathrooms with our female children. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy).

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 643, strike lines 9 through 14. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 445, the gentleman from…

I ask my colleagues to support this amendment. It is important that we give the Secretary the ability to set this definition. I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Strike line 20 on page 642 and all that follows through page 643, line 8. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to…

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 South Carolina will be postponed. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 144 printed…

Woman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), who is one of the cosponsors of the amendment and the dean of the House.

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 286, strike line 1 and all that follows through line 11. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House…

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 South Carolina will be postponed. Amendment No. 136 Offered by Mr. Blumenauer The Acting…

I would urge my colleagues to defeat this amendment because I think it is shortsighted. There are States that want to play in the energy matrix. They want to play in the renaissance. They want to, hopefully, experience a 37.5 percent…

I have seen, in the Natural Resources Committee, when I was there years ago, where fear tactics were used, saying that whales and other sea mammals, dolphins, would be killed because of the seismic work. We had the chief biologist from…

That's what entrepreneurialism, capitalism is all about, is that the manufacturers see a need in the market.

One State shouldn't dictate what other States do.

We shouldn't have the State back home, right--the State of California back home--dictating national policy.

It's discriminatory against rural and smaller States by allowing the State of California to basically set national policy.

One State should not be able to effectively dictate fuel economy standards, tailpipe emission requirements, and mandates for zero-emission vehicles for the entire Nation where Congress has set a clear policy favoring a single Federal…

When a State is allowed to usurp congressional intent for their own designs, all of the other States in our republic suffer.

Maintaining the Obama-level standards will price the middle class of America out of the new vehicle market.

People in rural America do not want electric vehicles because they don't fit their lifestyle.

This was not so much a rollback of regulations but an effort to maybe correct the course.

The final rule is very clear, if Title X sites want to continue receiving Federal dollars, they simply must comply with the provisions of the final rule, which are consistent with the original statute.
