This is another good bill that solves a problem that should have been solved at another level, and to introduce it I would yield such time as he may consume to the sponsor, the gentleman from California (Mr. McKeon). Mr. McKEON. Mr…

I thank the gentleman from New Mexico, and, once again, I do agree with you. I enjoy your image of the world much better than this particular administration. It reminds me of ``Back to the Future'' when they had the two movies, what…
Apr 24, 2012
Once again, we have a problem that should easily be corrected and a bill that does that. Mr. Speaker, I wish to yield as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Cravaack) to explain his particular piece of…

My old debate coach is looking down on our actions and is smiling, saying his advice was right. Just keep making the same arguments over and over again, and maybe someone will actually believe those. This, actually, still is about a…

The Antiquities Act, which allows the President to designate land, is a legislative function that the legislature gave to the executive branch in Teddy Roosevelt's time. Whether it is good or not, it is wrong for Congress to give its…

With that, Madam Speaker, let me yield 5 minutes to the chairman of the Rules Committee, who is here to clean up the mess I have made so far.
Apr 17, 2012
I appreciate that. And reclaiming the time very briefly because I know you're the next speaker and you're going to go over this issue one more time, yeah, that's exactly what--there has to be a procedure to go forward. But, once again…

I thank the gentleman from Oregon for being here. It was exhilarating to hear someone actually talking about the bill before us. Unfortunately, it was slightly inaccurate as well, so if I could make a couple of corrections. The trophy…

I appreciate the former Speaker's visit to the floor, and I have a comment to make about the verbiage of deem and pass. But first, before we get there, I'd like to actually have someone talk about the resolution itself. I yield 2 minutes…
Apr 17, 2012
Again, Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I appreciate the concerns of some people who do not live in areas that have a vast amount of public lands owned and controlled by the Federal Government, who don't see the need…

As was stated on the point of order, when we talk about deeming--a term that, obviously, most Americans have never heard--a procedural issue, we have had the policy debate, and we will have in the future the policy debate. But this point…

The resolution provides for a structured rule for the consideration of H.R. 4089, a bill to protect the traditional rights of American sportsmen to fish and hunt on public lands free from undue and illogical bureaucratic restrictions and…

At some time, the Senate has to do their work. Hopefully, they will do it soon and then this issue would be moot.
Apr 17, 2012
That is still the Speaker's responsibility. However, what deeming applies to is that these are for procedural considerations allowed to go forward until such time as an actual budget has indeed passed. So the answer to your question is…

I would not dare to try and supersede my interpretation over the Speaker's interpretation. That is his responsibility. However----

I am pleased to be down here for this procedural issue that is before us. The question before the House is: Should the House now consider House Resolution 614? While the resolution waives all point of order against consideration of the…
Apr 17, 2012
There is, as I finish this, a couple of areas I want to talk about. There are children who are preparing to go to preschool today who have lived their entire lives without seeing the Senate actually pass a budget. Were that not the case…
Apr 17, 2012
I would urge the gentleman to pay particular attention to some of the amendments that are proposed under this rule, one of which would actually probably prohibit those Hollywood people from making movies on public lands again if any kind…
Apr 17, 2012
To continue on, for the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time…
Apr 17, 2012
Once again, I wish to remind the body that we are dealing with a procedural issue. We've heard a great deal of policy debate here, but what we are dealing with is a procedural issue. The policy of the debate has been debated on this floor…
Apr 17, 2012
By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 614 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 624 Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the…
Apr 17, 2012
I continue to reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts, the distinguished ranking member from the Committee on Natural Resources, Mr. Markey.
Mar 28, 2012
I want to make sure that we work together so that those land users have their questions satisfied.
