Woman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Johnson).

Once again, same thing: It is superfluous. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Rouda). The amendment was agreed to.

I claim time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Utah is recognized for 5 minutes.

I will make it easier for him. I yield back the balance of my time.

I am sorry. Had that actually been said after the first speech, I would have reserved. But I have yielded back. I am done with this. Unless you really want to go on, I would urge the gentleman to yield back and we will go on with the vote.

In the original speech the gentleman from Rhode Island said he yielded back the balance of his time. Had he not yielded in the first speech?

If the gentleman asks nicely. Yes. I am waiting for one more speaker coming over who may or may not be here.

I am happy to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Cline), our new Member in his first term here.

Once again, I appreciate the opportunity to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tipton), someone who realizes that not only does the base bill stop drilling, but if you add one of the amendments they have, you are going to…

One of the other witnesses said that if we move this to Grand Junction it will have a profound disproportionate and negative impact on women and minority employees.

I couldn't agree more.

There is broad support for this move amongst a wide variety of stakeholders from diverse political persuasions.

To argue otherwise is ignorant at best, and willfully misleading at worst.

I believe this move of Bureau of Land Management headquarters out west is long overdue and will yield tremendous results for land management.

We all will benefit, and I appreciate that.

I appreciate you being here.

We need to take action. We need to be present. We cannot wait 8 years to take action.

This show could also be titled, 'Democrats Accuse Trump of Whitewashing Climate Science,' or 'Democrats Accuse Bernhardt of Giving Handouts to Their Buddies.'

We are also short-changing our future generations by denying the science right now. We need to take action.

When we have certain groups like the Center for Biological Diversity that has 143 lawsuits going on right now, does that lend itself to greater scientific integrity, or does it lend itself to more political decisions being made behind…

But that is exactly what happened in the last administration.

I do want entered into the record, though, what the Inspector General has reported about your situation

If there indeed is legislation, and there is, it will be assigned to the Science Committee solely.
