I have some empathy for the gentleman from Iowa, but I will have to say that one of the reasons that those amendments were not made in order was, quite frankly, because both of them were nongermane to the base bill, and that becomes a…

In our discussion of this particular rule today, we have, as oftentimes is the case, wandered far and wide. I would point out to one of the speakers who was just up there saying that we should stay here doing the sequestration act, dealing…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 788 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 788 Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order…

With gratitude for the last speech, which was such a stirring support of fracking, which has made gas so plentiful and useful in this country, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).

Since I doubt very seriously if I can get through any kind of statement and say ``Pascua Yaqui'' Tribe accurately, it would be my intent, if I could, to yield 10 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona to explain his bill. It's a good bill…

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to my colleague who shares a border with me in our districts, the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tipton).

I am pleased to yield such time as he may consume to the author of this particular bill, who does a great job in representing his constituents--and this is one of those examples--the gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Pearce).

This is a good bill. It's got a great sponsor. Everyone should vote for it. I reserve the balance of my time.

You know, we do processes here in government, and hopefully we do them for a reason. But when the process we have harms kids, we should ask ourselves why do we have this slavish devotion to the process. The problem before the State of…

I'm just grateful to the gentleman from Texas for actually broaching this issue. Jobs are important, but it's not just jobs for the sake of creating a job. This is a job that is essential for the defense of this country. This is our…

I thank the gentleman again, and I would just like to reiterate a couple of things that he has said and build on those points that are there. It is extremely important to realize that we are about the people's business, and we are doing…

Well, I appreciate the gentleman from Texas taking up this particular issue. I promise you, you will get a few minutes here to finish this one up here as well. I will start just by moving off where we are for just 1 second and going back…

I appreciate your attendance here.

It is unfair because you had one second left when you were asked the question.

I think that is a very good and a legitimate question.

Decades of failed polices and hands-off management of our forests have left the majority of these lands in an unnatural, and unhealthy state.

Sir, these documents have been redacted so they are totally useless.

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 726 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 726 Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the…

Could I inquire of the gentleman from Colorado how many additional speakers he has.

And as someone with whiter hair than you have, I understand what you're talking about. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Rohrabacher), who does indeed have some of these industries in his district and understands full…

This resolution provides for a structured rule for consideration of H.R. 4402, which is the National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act, and provides for 1 hour of general debate, equally divided and controlled by the chairman…

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Pearce), who understands this issue very directly with his experience both on the Resources Committee as well as in his home State of New Mexico.

Then, Madam Speaker, let me yield myself just 1 minute. To try and put things in parameter of what we're actually doing in this bill, in the sixties to the eighties, the United States was actually the leader in the production of most of…

I am happy to yield 5 minutes to the sponsor of this particular piece of legislation, who will do a couple of things, I hope, as he gets up there. One, he will remind us all that no environmental laws are waived by this process; it's about…

If the gentleman would stay here a second, I understand from the Congressional Quarterly that it is your birthday today. In which case, to the gentleman from Massachusetts, I wish you a happy birthday. I appreciate the visual that you had…
