I support the gentlelady's amendment. For years, our subcommittee has criticized the Department of Energy's use of its uranium transfer authorities. The Department's reliance on its uranium transfers to generate funds for cleanup has…

Woman, I reserve a point of order against the gentleman's amendment. The CHAIR. A point of order is reserved. Pursuant to House Resolution 641, the gentleman from California and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair…

It is my pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Terry).

It is now my pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Weber).

It is now my pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Roskam).

I would like to thank the gentleman from New Mexico for his continued advocacy of the cleanup program at Los Alamos. I look forward to working with you on ensuring that adequate funding is available to support the Department of Energy's…

It is my distinct honor to present the fiscal year 2015 Energy and Water bill for consideration before the full House. I would like to recognize the efforts of our chairman, Mr. Rogers, and Ranking Member Lowey to bring this bill to the…

I thank the gentlewoman for her work on this bill. She has been a valuable partner in crafting a bill. In trying to address the needs of all Members on both sides of the aisle, obviously you can never address all of them, but I think both…

It is my pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from West Virginia (Mrs. Capito).

I now yield as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers), the chairman of the full committee.

Well, Mr. Chairman, let me say that I agree with the sentiments expressed by the gentleman from California, in that the rules of the House say we should not appropriate money for any unauthorized program. Unfortunately, the authorizing…

Reclaiming my time, Mr. Chairman, I also oppose the amendment. While I opposed increasing EERE funding in previous amendments, I am also opposed to eliminating EERE. When you look at the traditional energy sources that we use, the…

As I said, we tried to refocus the request from the administration to those areas that actually produce the energy. Eighty- two percent, as I said during my statement, is produced by coal, oil, and natural gas. That is where we do the…

Reclaiming my time, I agree with the gentlelady's comments. I should say, it is not Portsmouth's or the gentleman from Ohio's fault that they have been using uranium transfers to fund this. It is not the people who are working there; it is…

Again, Mr. Chairman, let me thank the gentleman from Nebraska for both his consideration of this and his passion in this arena for what may be, in the long run, the most important thing this committee does. So I appreciate working with him…

I would assure the gentleman that we share his concerns, and in fact, if you look at the underlying bill, we have reduced funding for the ASA's office by 60 percent, or $3 million, because of the same concerns we have that you are…

I know that is what it sounds like. In fact, the bill continues to increase funding for harbor maintenance trust fund activities above the previous year and above the budget request, as the committee has repeatedly done over the past few…
