In addition to restoring agricultural productivity in this area, what has been referred to as ``America's salad bowl,'' this bill is a comprehensive piece of legislation which would reduce Federal spending by $300 million by allowing…

I had the opportunity of going down to California to one of the hearings where we met the farmers who are living in this particular area. I heard their anguish. I understood their anger. Their ability to make a living was being prohibited…

Sometimes it is hard to estimate jobs when you're thirsty, but I realize if there was even one job that is cost because of bad Federal behavior, that is one job too many. I would be happy to yield 2 minutes to my friend from Florida (Mr…

At this time, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Nunes), who is the sponsor of this bipartisan piece of legislation, to talk about his particular underlying bill.

I thank you for that, and I appreciate your joining me here because, once again, you live in that State, your constituents know the fear that is taking place, Americans who live on that particular border, the danger that is down there…

I thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am here tonight to talk about one of the issues that is of extreme significance. In fact, in every town hall meeting I've ever held, one of the first questions that's asked, if not the first question, is about…

Accomplish studies to investigate the application of new technologies in the Minuteman III booster stack.

This Administration has repeatedly stated that they wish to reduce negative environmental impacts made by Department of Defense programs and activities.

We should not have our head in the sands.

I would actually urge you to be very careful in that respect.

I appreciate your efforts in that.

It is no secret to me and many of my colleagues that this Administration shows itself hostile to the individual rights guaranteed in the Second Amendment.

the idea that the Federal Government can't give to another level of government, it has to get something of equal value or greater value, I don't care what kind of scoring you have to have on that, that is a horrendous policy.

I say Congress ought to have the ability to tell BLM to look harder.

H.R. 3440 is necessary to end BLM's prejudicial treatment of recreational shooting.

There appears to be a real penchant by this administration to manage the use of our public lands based on personal preference rather than the multiple uses mandated by law.

In my opinion, the BLM is keeping other lands open to recreational shooting until such time as it can find an excuse or opportunity to close them.

The trouble is I am not sure the Obama Administration would have backed down and abandoned their anti-sportsman policy were it not an election year.

This bill is another in a series of our trust-but-verify approaches when dealing with the Administration.

Thank you, Congressman Sullivan. We appreciate that, as well as the guest who is with us today.
