On the recordJuly 7, 2015
I thank Chairman Calvert. Madam Chair, again, I want to set the record straight. We are not against ocean planning, as it makes perfect sense, but only insofar as Congress has explicitly authorized those activities. Congress has not allowed the President to do what he is trying to do by executive fiat. There are 67 groups, which include fishing, agricultural, farming, energy, and other industries, that are concerned about the impact of this Federal overreach. Again, it is an unconstitutional Federal overreach, and I would urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the amendment.
