I stand in very strong support of repealing permanently the death tax. I personally know ranchers and farmers in my great State of Wyoming who have had to liquidate, had to sell their property, in order to pay the death taxes on their…

Currently over 20 percent of America's electricity is supplied by nuclear power, which requires roughly burning 50 million pounds of uranium as nuclear fuel each year. As our Nation's energy needs grow, so must all of our sources of energy…

I too rise in support of the Bono amendment. I want to speak, however, to the amendment that is coming up after this one, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard increase. Last year in my home State of Wyoming, registration of light…

I rise today because I have a solemn duty to inform the House of the investigation which I, as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and Minerals, was assigned to lead. I am very saddened by the remarks of the previous speaker because…

driving is not a luxury to most Americans, it is a necessity, especially in the mountain West where I live where one might have to drive 100 miles to go see the doctor. Americans need their cars, and they need their cars to get to work, to…

I am proud to bring before the House today this resolution to provide for the placement of a statue of Chief Washakie in Statuary Hall presented by the people of the State of Wyoming. In 1840, Chief Washakie became the principal chief of…

I am the chairman of the authorizing subcommittee with jurisdiction over the Minerals Management Service. MMS is the agency charged with collecting royalties from mineral lessees of the federal government. Usually, the producer pays…

like most Americans I was disappointed and angry to hear of the administrative abuses taking place under the Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson Acts. These are very popular programs that I support, which permit collection of funds…

Susan B. Anthony is well remembered as one of our Nation's greatest champions, not just of the rights of women, but the rights of all Americans. In addition to her work for women's rights, she was also a leading voice speaking out against…
