The government in Australia is absolutely immune to thinking of any other way of managing, other than their way.

We are learning that scientifically managed grazing can increase soil carbon sequestration, and lock it away for long periods.

Actually, no. But let me ask the question.

And we have 400 million acres the Federal Government owns. The opportunity of doing this is kind of wide.

This could actually be a very win-win situation, if we were actually to implement these things on Federal lands in a large way.

I have long been impressed by the success of some of our agricultural operations in my state.

I appreciate what you are saying. It is requiring, I think, that we have seen the opportunity of thinking outside of the box.

I would particularly like to compliment Chairman Bishop for recognizing the potential of what we are here to present today to improve the public forests and range lands, while also sequestering vast amounts of atmospheric carbon.

So I guess what you are both saying is there, the goal is to get the carbon into the ground.

And you just have to remember Deseret Ranch is in my district. So be careful who you are inviting to Utah, would you?

Recent scientific research on how plants sequester atmospheric carbon in the soil and the benefit that it provides are verified wisdom of this ranch's management regime.

Thank you Chairman Bishop, Ranking Member Grijalva, and members of this subcommittee for convening this important discussion at this critical time.

I am happy to be with you here today. It seems as if only a few hours ago we were all here together-- because it was only a few hours ago. Mr. Speaker, this resolution before us today provides a structured rule for consideration of H.R…

Again, I am pleased to join my friend from Colorado on this particular issue. When you have a partner, which is Russia, who is already engaged in a cyberattack against Estonia, they have invaded and declared independent the two northern…

This chart--for those with keen eyesight--kind of puts this in perspective. The blue is what we spend on the civilian workforce. The green is what has been spent over the last decade on military personnel. The yellow is on contract…

I thank the gentleman from Florida. The underlying defense authorization bill is a good bill. This is a good rule with maybe one caveat that there are too many amendments that are in here. Henry Clay, as the first Speaker of the House who…

But after that, it goes into what is known as an endangered mission readiness that is determined by the military, and should be determined by the military. What it simply means is we have military depots for a military reason. There is a…

I appreciate all that.

Thank you. I have a couple of questions.
