I wonder if you would just take a couple more minutes before we segue into the next speaker, next area, simply talking about what we practically can do for secure rural schools right now, as well as what we should probably ask our…

The GAO report that was just referenced, it is one of those unique things, not wishing to actually criticize the Federal Government for what they do, but in the entire report, not one property owner was interviewed, not a single property…

Though the structure of these resolutions require a Republican and Democrat both to present legislation, on this day when we deal with an issue of comfort, not on politics, this day we are all united as we honor these miners who were…

Let me just say I appreciate the gentleman representing this picture of a polar bear. It's not Knut. Knut, of course, is the infamous polar bear cub the animal rights groups who support this amendment wanted the Berlin Zoo to kill as…

The Constitution is not a living organism. It is a legal document. It says some things and doesn't say other things. The Constitution is a piece of paper that has words, but each of those words have a meaning.

I rise to support H.R. 497. H.R. 497, introduced by Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina, would authorize the Marion Park Project to establish a commemorative work on Federal land in the District of Columbia to honor Brigadier General…

The tragedy of the Space Shuttle Columbia has touched the hearts of all of us, and Mr. Gohmert should be commended for his attention to this. I urge adoption of the bill.

I rise in support of H.R. 995 and yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 995 has been adequately explained by the majority and we support the extension to establish a memorial honoring our disabled veterans. I note that…

On the rule for the bill that was passed out by a bipartisan vote of 37-5, I reserve my time.

I am always sometimes amazed or reminded by our friends from the oil- or energy-consuming States that don't understand the size of those in the West. It is true that ANWR is a small percentage of Alaska, but I would remind you that the…

I would just in deference to the Rules Committee defending their actions note that there was only one amendment that was sent as a potential amendment to this rule, and that was nongermane. It is very difficult to put amendments in order…

Once again I share the frustration and understand the gentlewoman from California, as to her amendment not being made in order here. But I once again would point out that the amendment was presented in the committee and was rejected by the…

I am more than pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Keller).

So, does H.R. 3283 require Commerce to take additional steps to ensure consistency?

Therefore, where H.R. 3283 says that ``the Commerce shall ensure that the application of CVD law is consistent with the international obligations of the United States,'' am I correct that Commerce, which administers both U.S. antidumping…

Is this provision in H.R. 3283, therefore, intended to change this fact in any way or to impose any new obligations on the Commerce Department or the United States beyond those already set forth in U.S. law?

As we continue on after the passage of this rule, I am looking forward to an hour of general debate, which will be as riveting as what we have had discussing this particular rule.

So the gentleman does not see any reason the Secretary would consider a non-DOE site for interim storage?

In reading the letter of the mayor, it clearly illustrated what we sadly lack here in Congress, a common sense solution balancing the needs of the future and today with the heritage that is already there. They know it, they understand it…

The Canadians are able to use modern technology to produce the oil and not to spoil the environment. It does not have to be one or the other, where we either have the energy source or we have the environment. We can have them both. We have…

Iraq plays almost an insignificant role in the energy sources for the United States. But the other countries that we have here, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Mexico, and especially Venezuela, they are key elements in our foreign policy dependency…

I ask this one final question. With the risk of being somewhat of a leading question, I think the gentleman very eloquently stated the position of the people who are there. I guess I would, once again, want to try and somehow if the…

As I said, it does not take a rocket scientist to realize that is the way of protecting the future economic and energy needs of this country.

It would be exactly right. It would make a major impact on the domestic future and stability of energy sources in America.

The gentleman from Utah (Mr. Cannon), once again, is absolutely correct. It has a huge impact, and that small fraction is estimated somewhere in the neighborhood between 5 and 16 billion, with a B, barrels of recoverable oil.
