I yield myself the balance of my time. First of all, for the record, Madam Chair, natural gas is not affected at all by this bill. Madam Chair, I will submit for the Record excerpts from the March 2012 Report to Congress by the Department…
May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Washington has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.
I yield 1 minute again to the author of this legislation, the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Amodei).
I am very pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Walden).
Before I yield to the gentleman from Michigan, I yield myself 30 seconds. The gentleman from New Jersey disparaged, I guess, sand and gravel. Madam Chairman, I would point out to you that I think, after the earthquakes in northern…
We need to have the park available to those that are working there and need to be in there on a daily basis.
To Establish the Manhattan Project National Historical Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Los Alamos, California, and in my home State--or New Mexico, Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Clearly, the nature and location of these facilities, especially those located on secured Department of Energy sites, presents a challenge.

I am Heather McClenahan, executive director of the Los Alamos Historical Society...
