I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman).

I urge adoption, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 3997, as amended. The…

Reclaiming my time, it is running through my head right now. This is a good piece of legislation. This is more than just nostalgia. This actually helps preserve our history. It is the right thing to do. I urge my colleagues to support it…

The North Country National Scenic Trail is about 4,000 miles and links scenic, national, historic, and cultural areas across seven States. It goes from basically North Dakota through New York and will eventually end up in Vermont. The…

June 1 will mark the end of an era in Utah broadcasting. For the past 40 years, Utahans have heard Doug Wright inform, uplift, and bloviate--that is his word, not mine. On Fridays, he reviewed movies, crowned losers, and gave prizes worth…

I think because these funds are going to be spread around all the states, it is going to be impossible to figure out what would have been.

I would like to congratulate Chairman Bishop and all the members of the Utah's House congressional delegation for the introduction of this legislation.

The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad... transformed America.

Next year will be the 150th birthday of this historic event. And I think it is bigger than just Golden Spike itself.

I hope that this Committee takes the appropriate action to make this happen thereby honoring and preserving this historic site and the effort by so many Americans to unite our Nation by rail.

I think it is a significant one for the history of this country, and something which we have to remember.

I am hopeful that in the creation of the national park within the National Park Service of the Transcontinental Railroad Network, that the work of the Chinese immigrants that was a substantial labor force that completed the railroad is…

This is talking about 200 acres of public property that needs to be used by a national cemetery that was created back in 1948 as the final resting place of people who gave their last and gave their all for the defense of this country. It…

I will not say the gentleman is just a child. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop) that the House suspend the rules and…

I am pleased to stand and support this bill, and I urge my colleagues to adopt it. The National Law Enforcement Museum will showcase the great work that is done by those who are in the law enforcement profession, but it is also going to…

I know this is somewhat unusual, but I really would like to have the sponsor of this bill have the first opportunity to speak towards it. It is one of my favorites, so I am going to reserve the balance of my time.

I do appreciate the commitment of the gentlewoman from Washington, the effort to solve some problems, and many of the issues that were brought up. Unfortunately, many of the issues that were addressed simply are not covered in the motion…

Unfortunately, NOAA did a study which simply said that the hatchery production of salmon in this area more than offsets any loss that comes from the dams. So even though we have this issue of an endangered species trying to eat another…

As one of the eight Tribes that endorse this bill said: The BiOp exceeds requirements established by the courts and by the ESA, and yet plaintiffs want more. The court should uphold the 2008 BiOp. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the…
