It has been very disappointing for many of us on the committee who enjoyed the bipartisan atmosphere of that committee previous to this.

I want to congratulate all 243 United States athletes that have secured qualification in the upcoming Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games. I am proud to say that 15 of these Olympians come from my home State of Utah. Through their talent…

I thank the gentleman for those kind words. Chairman Sessions is a hero of mine. There are a lot of reasons why I hold him in such high regard. One of the reasons is that he understands a couple of very important things. I think the first…

Yes. It's just simply not true, and time will show that it's not true. We look forward to the Democratic response to this memo. We look forward to the FBI's response.

Before I begin, I want to emphasize how dismayed I am by the amount of disinformation being propagated by opponents of section 702. I have heard some things over the last couple of days, and I just wonder, how in the world can someone…

Can you imagine being a locally elected official who is responsible for roads, schools, and all the services that a community needs in order just to survive, and having 93 percent of your tax base taken out from underneath you?

We used to have a thriving timber industry. It has been decimated because of some of these policies.

It made it impossible.

I think you are doing the right thing here. You are trying to give an area the infrastructure so people can actually visit it.

Name me a job that you can sustain a family on working in the tourism industry from May to October.

We genuinely created a situation where both sides had something that they wanted and could claim as a victory.

I feel like I am standing up for the little guy. I am standing up for families out in the rural communities who just want to keep their families together.

Some of the misunderstandings that people have regarding this is that the assumption is it repeals any protections, and that is just not true.

This bill gives us an opportunity to do that. It truly is a win-win situation. And I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support it.

If people felt like they had a voice, if they felt like they had an opportunity to make their input and actually be heard, and if the decision went the other way, I think most people would be willing to accept that.

Tourism alone is not able to sustain these communities.

No, it does not repeal any wilderness study areas.

The Federal Government promised that the monument would take little away and, instead, create a boom of tourism in the community surrounding the monument.

This bill codifies the President's action of last week.

Much has been said about the tumultuous times in which we live, and it is true, we do face enormous challenges. But I would like to remind the American people of the things that will get us through these times. My parents were part of the…

I would like to thank Mr. Collins and Chairman Goodlatte for their work. Mr. Chairman, I have to say, in listening to this debate, I can't imagine why anyone would oppose this legislation that is entirely designed to create transparency…

I thank the chairman for bringing up H.R. 469, which includes, as indicated, the text of my bill, the Judgment Fund Transparency Act. The purpose of this act is really very simple. Actually, contrary to previous arguments, the rule of this…

I would like to thank the gentleman from Arizona, who I consider a friend and one of the great leaders in the Congress, for leading this Special Order and for bringing this important matter before the Chamber. 2017 will go down as the…

Today I want to address a topic of grave and tragic importance. Every 12 minutes in the United States we experience a suicide-related death; and, shockingly, for every suicide death, there are 25 attempts. These are heartbreaking…

I stand today to honor my good friend, Jason Chaffetz, as he prepares to leave the House tomorrow. On the day that I was first elected, the very first phone call I got was a number I didn't recognize. I picked it up, and it was Jason. He…
