Congratulations, Mr. Grijalva, on your first Full Committee chairing.

I do not know where this hearing is going, or the other six hearings you planned, because you simply haven't told us where the goal is.

We would like to know that in the future.

When the government creates policy, its first priority should be the welfare of the people, especially those impacted the hardest.

The Minority Impact Assessment acts as a 'cooling saucer' to prevent regulations from imposing unrealistic expectations on specific people and communities.

If we can go to the point in future where Utah has as much Federal land as Massachusetts and North Carolina have, I will be tickled pink.

I hope, though, in the process, you can give us some ideas of what you all are trying to do in your states.

the frustration I had with the Senate using the filibuster to gut most of the forest fire reforms that we passed.

The gentleman could at least put some kind of rhyme in there. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Puerto Rico (Miss Gonzalez-Colon) to speak on this particular bill. Miss GONZALEZ-COLON of Puerto Rico. Mr. Speaker, I…

This is a good piece of legislation. I just wish that when the Dodgers left him vulnerable in 1966, the Cubbies had picked him up, instead of the Pirates. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The…

I want to do two motions simultaneously here. I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from Washington (Mrs. McMorris Rodgers), and I ask unanimous consent that the remainder of the time be managed by the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young). The…

Section 202(b) of S. 245, the ``Tribal Biomass Demonstration Project Act,'' amends the Tribal Forest Protection Act of 2004 (TFPA) to include new authority that directs the Secretary (of Agriculture or the Interior) to enter into a minimum…

Major Brent Russell Taylor is one of six brothers to each wear the uniform of the United States Army. While training Afghan security forces in support of Operation Freedom's Sentinel, Major Taylor was killed by an apparent insider attack…

This week, my State lost a friend and a statesman. James V. Hansen, Utah's longest serving Member of this body, passed away on Wednesday. My condolences go out to his wife, Ann, as well as the rest of the Hansen family. During his 22 years…

Excessive litigation has only exacerbated these issues and worked to drain resources away from actual conservation efforts.

Sixty-eight percent support revising the Endangered Species Act to focus efforts on conserving species before they become threatened or endangered.

Americans actually do agree. The Morning Consult poll... showed 73 percent of Americans favor updating the Endangered Species Act.

The Endangered Species Act is an important law that is in need of improvements.

I am optimistic that working with our colleagues in the Senate and this Administration, we can continue to lay the groundwork for ESA modernization.

We have a moral duty to preserve species for the next generation, instead of debating these bills.

Despite these worthy intentions, less than 2 percent of species have recovered enough to warrant removal from the list of endangered and threatened species.

It's been almost 45 years since the Endangered Species Act was first passed by Congress to protect and recover species at risk of extinction.

More registered voters believe that states should be more responsible for managing the recovery of species than the Federal Government.

Thank you again, Mr. Chairman, for your successful markup of this legislation last Thursday.

We believe these bills can make a substantial and meaningful investment in our national parks.
