The Public Record
I would like to make this very clear: if you believe in the humane treatment of animals, this bill takes us a step backwards. If you believe in preserving a balanced and natural ecosystem, this bill moves us in the wrong direction. If you…
I hail from a state where we cherish the fundamental Second Amendment right of law-abiding citizens to own firearms. The Second Amendment is one of the most meaningful ways in which the founders of our great Nation worked to guarantee our…
the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 marked a turning point in our Nation's history. The statute has succeeded in combating the voting disenfranchisement that was an ugly stain on our Nation's democratic ideals. While there is no…
there is no greater obligation we have to the people of this Nation than to protect their freedom and their safety. We owe it to the public to pursue those who seek to destroy our way of life. Democrat wartime President Franklin Roosevelt…
Policies of appeasement did not work against Nazi Germany; they did not work against the Soviet Union; and they will most certainly not work against terrorists right now plotting violence and bloodshed against our citizens.
I am the lead sponsor of H.R. 3153, the identical House measure to S.1578 under consideration today. This bill is quite simple. It will reauthorize the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basin endangered fish recovery programs for 2…
I hail from a State that respects the fundamental, individual right to own firearms granted to all Americans by the Second Amendment. This right, so essential to our liberty, is under assault by legal teams bent on destroying the firearms…
on rollcall No. 228, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea''.
as the Members know, the Payments in Lieu of Taxes program, or PILT as it is called, compensates units of general government for property taxes that they otherwise lose due to Federal ownership of the land within that locality. Our local…
we have all heard talk of how Wyoming and other rural States do not deserve their razor-thin slice of the Homeland Security pie because they have higher per capita funding allocations than the likes of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles…
it's been about a year since we last debated broadcast indecency before the House. I was pleased to have supported the passage of the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act then, and I look forward to its passage again this year. Sometimes it…
on September 11th, the terrorists didn't just use box cutters and airplanes to attack America, they used our own laws against us to help them murder thousands of people. H.R. 418, the REAL ID Act, will fix these loopholes in current law…
my home State of Wyoming is the least populated State in this Nation but a proud provider of many of the resources on which America depends. Wyoming and our neighboring States produce the bulk of our Nation's agricultural and energy…
Mr. Speaker, plainly stated, H.R. 4625 would help balance the unfair playing field in the world market and allow the United States trona producers to face growing competition from countries like China. The United States soda ash industry…
Yellowstone was established in 1872 with the dual purpose of protecting the unique resources in that area and providing for the American public to be able to enjoy that area. Both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park have been well…
with all the misinformation that is floating around in this Chamber today, I hardly know where to start. But one place I will start is I would request that the Members on the other side who have supported and offered this amendment ask the…
actually I cannot answer that specifically for Grand Teton National Park, but I can say that the fact is there is evidence now that brucellosis was spread from elk to cattle. That is a fact, which my colleague said has never happened.
Once again, that wolf reintroduction program has not created the behaviors in the wolves that were expected at the time they were reintroduced. So this is too big a subject for us to go into right now. But my friend from Montana made the…
it's about time. That's what my constituents are telling me. They correctly note the gradual degradation of the quality and decency of programming on TV and radio--and I agree, it's about time Congress acted. As an original cosponsor of…
I do not understand why some Congressmen continue to offer amendments about issues that they truly do not understand, that they have never observed, nor have they ever participated in the solution to a problem that exists. The States of…
the decision to ban snowmobiles from the roads of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks is based on politics, not on facts and not on laws. This rule was published just 2 days after President Bush was sworn into office. Much like the…
I rise in support of S. 273, and ask that this body support its passage. The Grand Teton National Park Land Exchange Act was introduced by Senator Thomas, co-sponsored by Senator Enzi, and is supported by all five elected Wyoming state…
I rise today to support a bill that is of great interest to the State of Wyoming and to many, many environmental groups across the country. It is not often that I can stand here and agree with the positions of most of the environmental…
I am sorry that the color of the State of Wyoming was not in bright yellow on the chart that the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Rahall) just showed the body. It should be in bright yellow because the Powder River Basin produces so much…
Politicians like Barbara Cubin
