It was troubling, very troubling, to hear your answer to one of the other questions, that you don't know if the Department will be requesting full funding for PILT in the 2013 budget year proposal.

PILT has become an essential lifeline for many rural communities and counties.

PILT alone is not adequate reimbursement for an absentee federal landlord.

As has been mentioned by the gentleman, this is a bipartisan bill. I urge its adoption. It's a very good bill. I have no requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to…

I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and also to include any extraneous material on the bill under consideration. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of…

I urge the adoption of this particular resolution. I have no further requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the bill under consideration. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. It is my pleasure to be here on this particular bill, H.R. 670. It conveys, as was mentioned in the title, 3 miles of submerged lands to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. H.R. 489 is sponsored by our colleague, Representative Gosar of Arizona, and it seeks to resolve bureaucratic dysfunction and streamline regulatory processes for the purposes of creating jobs in…

This once again is a very good bill that is before us. The fact is that the Hoover Dam in Nevada produces more than 2,000 megawatts, which is enough to power 2 million households, of clean electricity and captures more than 28 million acre…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, Phelps Dodge, just to give you some background of this particular legislation, is a large mining company that built what is now the Cragin project in the 1960s to supply water to its…

I wish to yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Heck), who is the sponsor of this bill, to introduce this particular piece of legislation, which does so much for the West and recognizes the importance of…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 406 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 406 Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the…

This resolution provides for a structured rule for consideration of H.R. 2401, the Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation. Fortunately, the anagram comes to TRAIN, so it's the TRAIN Act of 2011. It makes in order 12…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Hastings), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for…

I thank the gentleman for not demonizing me or my colleagues and our motives on this bill. I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I am pleased to yield as much time as he may consume to the distinguished chairman of the Rules Committee, the gentleman from California (Mr. Dreier).

I support the Committee's goal to expedite the environmental review process.

Congress' breach of Utah's enabling act is choking off that needed funding.

So it is true that they had close to 80 percent of the territory and that was a funding mechanism for the Federal Government.

I spent 16 years in the Legislature all on the Appropriations Committee for Public Education trying to find money for education.
