I would really like to commend my good friend from Florida on his very unique approach to this bill with this very unique amendment. But make no mistake. If it were to pass, the effect would be to hobble and to kill this job-creating bill…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, the rhetoric on the other side of the aisle on the debate on this issue is rather interesting. Let me take a couple of the issues that were brought up and try to address them. First…

I am very pleased to yield 2 minutes to the cosponsor of this legislation, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Harris).

I will not yield. The gentleman had 5 minutes to make his case. Let me just tell you what this bill does. This bill creates American jobs with American energy at no cost to the taxpayer. What else do you need to say? Vote against the…

I first want to note that the author of the motion to recommit voted for the bill out of committee without this amendment. So there certainly is some basis of support for this bill. But I find it very, very ironic that we continue to have…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 265, nays 154, not voting 13, as follows: [Roll No…

If not, I am prepared to yield back and start the amendment process if the gentlelady yields back.

I yield the gentleman an additional 1 minute. Mr. McCLINTOCK. I thank the gentleman. Yet here, with this measure, at no cost to these hardworking families, at no cost to the environment, simply by getting absurdly and utterly duplicative…

I want to thank Chairwoman Sutley for coming before this Committee again.

This implies to me that either nothing is planned for Fiscal Year 2013 to implement this policy, which I find hard to believe, or all of these agencies are quietly siphoning money from other activities to fund this unauthorized activity.

I am pleased to yield 5 minutes to the chairman of the subcommittee that dealt with this legislation, the gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock). Mr. McCLINTOCK. I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would say to the gentleman from…

this Committee has not held an oversight hearing over CEQ's budget for many years.

I am very pleased to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tipton), the sponsor of this very important legislation.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Please put that poster back up again. That, I think, real-life example demonstrates why America is so fed up with what happens in Washington, DC. Here is a project that is affordable at $20,000, and so…

I would once again ask for the full 90-day extension.

I would like to ask my friend from California if she has anymore speakers on the debate portion of this.

I hope this hearing serves as a way to get more information on how the National Ocean Policy specifically is being funded.

I find this debate rather interesting because the gentlelady from Texas who spoke, of course, did not speak on this bill. She spoke on another piece of pending legislation that dealt with jobs. That's good. That pending piece of…

It shouldn't take a subpoena to get straight answers and documents, but if that is what it takes to get the Obama Administration to comply, then I am prepared to take that step.

Congress and this Committee have an obligation to the American people to conduct oversight of the executive branch and get answers to questions that are asked.

Not once over the last year has a single deadline been met, and the Administration continues to withhold the vast majority of requested materials.

This is a serious matter that impacts the livelihood of entire communities, the jobs of thousands of coal miners across the Nation.

Will the gentleman yield? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired. Ms. McCOLLUM. In reclaiming my time, I will not yield to the gentleman on my time.

I am very pleased to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock), the chairman of the subcommittee that developed this legislation on the Natural Resources Committee. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, I thank the…

Before I yield to the sponsor of this legislation, I yield myself 30 seconds to simply point out that the statistics I used as it relates to unemployment come from Fresno County. That is a county where all of this was impacted. The…
