I want to thank you for your work on GMO labeling and the time you have invested in trying to find a solution.

On the GMO issue, I would just add my ditto to Mr. Bost's comment and appreciate your support on working on behalf of making sure we have a clear movement forward.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 4, line 5, strike ``and''. Page 4, line 8, strike the period and insert ``; and''. Page 4, after line…

Last year, a Federal judge in Washington State ruled several dairies in my district were culpable of 'open dumping' of manure under the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act.

I ask that you act swiftly in issuing this permit, to ensure jobs are not lost and an already struggling economy is not dealt another devastation.

I am concerned that your Agency's proposed rule is significantly more stringent than required to protect human health.

The OCR rule is placing heavy burdens on smaller, more agriculturally focused FCMs and their clients

I think predation is so significant, considering the system that we have in California, the highly altered system that we have, all of the challenges that we have. I think, without doing something to reduce predation, it is really just a…

Judging from the last questioner, this is costing us a lot of money, but a lot more than just ratepayer or taxpayer dollars. It is costing a lot of people's futures, as well.

This letter is in regard to Omak Wood Products LLC located in Omak, Washington in Okanogan County.

I would just like to make the point that it is customary, whether Republicans are in control or whether Democrats control, that the CRAs, the Congressional Review Acts, come to the floor under a closed rule. I might also say that…

I have one further speaker. Mr. McGOVERN. I am the last speaker on my side. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I continue to reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Kennedy).

I continue to reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Tonko).

Whenever the cost of access to publicly-owned lands or facilities is increased, I believe it is essential that it comes with commensurate increases in the quality of the user's experience.

I have no further requests for time, and I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1345

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

New Mexico believes the DOI investigation is fundamentally flawed because one executive branch agency investigating another is not truly an independent investigation.

The Department of the Interior (DOI) has provided zero assistance to the state of New Mexico and has not communicated with us at all.

Could you detail the impact this EPA-caused environmental disaster will have on farmers in the Navajo Nation?

I would hope that we can take you at your word that the accountability aspect of this will be followed to wherever it goes.

I thank the gentleman. And that is a great segue into who I would like to share some of this time with next. I yield to the gentleman, also from Oklahoma (Mr. Lucas), the former chairman of the House Agriculture Committee.
