Why is the United States ceding to the U.K.? Nothing against the brilliant work done by the U.K. researchers and architects there, but they hardly have the land mass or supply that we do.

I think we need to keep batting down some of the misconceptions about wood as a building material here.

I do not think other sectors should feel threatened by this.

Senator Wyden, thank you for your legislation.

If we did, and took into consideration their true impact, we would generate billions in royalties.

I think we need to face the fact that our public lands have an impact on all of this.

I do not think they are sufficient, clearly, on the land side, and should be, to holding people accountable.

Taxpayers deserve to look at our federal lands and the leasing of those federal lands and get a federal return.

I come to the floor to talk about the rise in hate crimes in the Pacific Northwest and to thank my colleague the Senator from Hawaii for her tremendous leadership in guiding us through this process to get this legislation passed in the…
