Good intentions do not make good policy. My earnest petition is that Congress let the people who are impacted the most enact the policies needed to protect our families, and our communities.

I expect to get the job done right.

It strengthens the Magnuson Act, because it gives some of the Councils the flexibility needed for a time without being run from Washington, DC.

I have personally worked with the agencies, Federal agencies have some differences of opinion.

My gut feeling is that Medicare or Medicaid, by itself, will not solve that problem, will not be enough to meet the need that is actually there.

I appreciate her bringing this to our attention all the time, too.

I appreciate the efforts of the gentleman from California. I would remind him, when he was in the Clinton administration and the Clinton administration forced the community to buy a hovercraft instead of building this road, that was made…

I can say I don't support this because even though I had three bills in that package, I voted against it. It was a bad package going through. But the problem is that this amendment does nothing more than reinsert the language that caused…

May I inquire of the ranking member if he has any germane speakers left on this issue.

I include in the Record my statement on the ABCs of Izembek. Alaska's ardently asking for action and assistance to acquire acute acres to always allow actual access across areas and assuredly avert atrocious aviation accidents after…

I claim the time in opposition to the motion to recommit. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 248, nays 179, not voting 6, as follows: [Roll No. 406] YEAS--248 Abraham Aderholt Allen Amodei Arrington…

The SAVES Act by our colleague, Mr. Gohmert, will remove duplicative permitting requirements for non-native endangered species.

Here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan we are over-run with wolves and our Department of Natural Resources can't do anything about it.

This is an important piece of legislation we need to move.

H.R. 717, the Listing Reform Act by Representative Olson would allow consideration of economic factors in listing decisions.

We urge your support of this important legislation.

This commonsense, bipartisan legislation would reinstate the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) order to remove the gray wolf in the Western Great Lakes and Wyoming from the federal Endangered Species List.

We respectfully request that you join us in supporting the conservation success of a fully recovered, healthy, and independently viable wolf population in Michigan by restoring state management of this species.

ESA does not work. We have to find a way to reform it so it actually solves problems, not just continues on the process.

H.R. 424, introduced by Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Collin Peterson, is a bipartisan measure to de-list and ensure state management of gray wolves.

the ESA has veered away from this mission. All too often, the Act has been misused to control land, block a host of economic activities important for jobs.

As Texas has demonstrated, states are well positioned to effectively keep species stable and off the endangered and threatened list.

The Endangered Species Act was passed 40 years ago to try to recover and restore imperiled species.

I appreciate that. Mr. Wiley, it is good to have you here again.
