Doc Hastings: “I am very pleased to yield 2 minutes to another member of the Natural Resources Committee, the gentleman from South…”

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 1017 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: ____________________

Through you, I would advise my friend that I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close if he is.

Through you, I would advise my good friend from Arizona that I have no further speakers and I am prepared to close whenever she is.

When I asked the gentleman to speak, I didn't mean for him to take my time. I yield an additional 15 seconds to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raskin) for closing purposes.
