They claim to support the endangered species with their words but not with their actions. I am proud to have advocated for the inclusion of this language to stop this misguided spill to help save our fish and save our dams. I urge a…

I have one speaker. I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Lucas).

I believe I have the right to close, so I would reserve the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Oklahoma has the right to close.

We should not be singling out key agricultural industries under programs like this. We should not be picking winners and losers among our farmers. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to strongly oppose the Russell amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield…

I claim time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington is recognized for 5 minutes.

Many advocates for the environmental lobby claim to be pro-science, but it is clear that far too often they only rely on that science when it is convenient. The spill order mandated by this judge could have harmful effects on the very fish…

Reclaiming my time, the bipartisan effort in this bill is reflected in a very, very good way, and I urge respecting that process, respecting the comprehensive, collaborative work that was done on this bill, and I urge support of the rule…

The Ways and Means Committee put out a discussion draft on March 26 entitled, ``The Taxpayer First Act.'' The committee provided 2 weeks to collect input from Members, stakeholder groups, and the public. I would say to my good friends…

I just want to thank Mr. Johnson for shedding light on this issue.

Ms. Wasserman Schultz recited some numbers that are very concerning in staff changes.

So is it realistic to believe that at some point all the collections will be online?

I honestly do, every chance I get, tell the visitors that come to the Capitol that they need to go see the Library of Congress. It is the most beautiful building in Washington, D.C.

Well, I would just agree with Mr. Ryan's comment. That is why I am late.

Most Members don't get an opportunity to personally thank the Chief and Assistant Chief. So thank you, gentlemen, for being here...

For the lack of about 20 million dollars to completely retrofit the city's lead service lines, the federal government and state government now just in the last 3 years have spent over half a billion dollars to repair the damage.

In my district, important work like the Hanford cleanup and our national laboratory must continue. Today, I find myself, as well as many, frustrated. As a supporter of the President's call for Congress to act to work on a bipartisan…

Representative Newhouse has offered up H.R. 4419, a variation of H.R.

We are tremendously grateful to Representative Dan Newhouse and Representative Dave Reichert for their tireless work in supporting the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan.

I am here today on behalf of the Yakima Basin Working Group in support of this Subcommittee's efforts to congressionally authorize the Bureau of Reclamation.

Water is vital for the livelihoods and prosperity of communities in the western United States.

H.R. 4419, the Bureau of Reclamation and Bureau of Indian Affairs Water Project Streamlining Act, is a common-sense bill that reforms the current cumbersome and lengthy processes for water development efforts.

The Yakima River Basin Plan is a model of collaboration that offers a solution to give water users more certainty.

My hope is, with this legislation, to achieve the same streamlined process for BOR and BIA that was developed for the Corps.

Water is vital for the livelihoods and the prosperity of our communities in the western United States.

I would like to thank my colleague, Congressman Reichert, for his continued partnership on these efforts.
