The Public Record
Rob Bishop is a former U.S. Representative from Utah, serving in the House of Representatives from January 3, 2003, to January 3, 2021. A member of the Republican Party, Bishop was known for his focus on issues related to public lands, education, and military matters. During his tenure, he served as the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, where he played a significant role in shaping legislation concerning land management and energy policy in the West.
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…
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…
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…
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…
Then we will have that many, but I hope I will be the last. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I will close for our side. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts is recognized for up to 1\1/2\ minutes. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam…
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.
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…
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.
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…
I want to make sure that we work together so that those land users have their questions satisfied.
I think I thank the gentleman from Ohio for that introduction. Since 1857, if I count correctly, John Sullivan is the 19th Parliamentarian we have had in the House of Representatives, even though the term actually wasn't used officially…
I am pleased to yield 4 minutes to the sponsor of this bill, who will once again try to describe to this body how this county land should stay with the county and needs to be dealt with by the county and all we have to do is remove an…
Once again, the rule does not waive an earmark, because there are no earmarks. It is a general waiver that is in there. If one were to look back at the past three Congresses, official bills that have been prepared that are very similar to…
I am obviously in favor of consideration of this resolution. The question before the House is: Shall the House now consider House Resolution 587? While the resolution waives all points of order against consideration of the bill, the…
By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 587 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 587 Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the…
