I urge my colleagues from other public land states to cosponsor this legislation and work with me toward its passage.

Today I am introducing a bill, together with Rep. Joe Skeen of New Mexico, which we trust will stem this decline, and encourage investment in federal mineral leases.

Our bill, is will provide some incentives to federal oil and gas lessees to 'stay the course' when prices drop below $18 per barrel, or $2.30 per million BTU's for natural gas.

But, Mr. Speaker, its not just producers who are being squeezed by today's global oil price environment.

This bill offers states the opportunity to take over post-lease issuance duties from the federal Bureau of Land Management.

H.R. 509 and H.R. 510, as introduced in the House, mirror the bills introduced by Senators Mike Enzi and Craig Thomas that passed last year in the Senate by unanimous consent. The first bill, H.R. 509, transfers eighty acres of public land…

Geologists like to say that for them 'every day is Earth Day.' What better day than today to introduce the bill to keep the benefits of this important cooperative program flowing?

My home state of Wyoming is rich in geologic wonders, thus I am well aware of the importance of having accurate geologic information in order to manage and appreciate the land around us.

The reauthorization of the National Geologic Mapping Act shines as a sterling example of a cooperative partnership between the Federal government and the individual states for the benefit of society.

it is fitting that we take the anniversary of her birth as an opportunity to remember this great woman, Susan B. Anthony, and to rededicate ourselves to her life's work of guaranteeing full rights for both women and their unborn children.

Today she is mainly, and rightly, remembered as one of our greatest foremothers in the drive for women's rights.

Anthony was a fierce opponent of slavery. And she also championed the rights of those who today have become the most dispossessed of all: the unborn.

Although she herself was childless, she considered amongst her greatest achievements, to have saved the lives of the unborn.

one hundred and seventy-nine years ago, on February 15, a remarkable woman was born. Her passion for establishing equal rights for women led her to champion the rights of others dispossessed as well.

after weeks of soul-searching, hearing from the people of Wyoming, and a thorough review of the evidence, I have reached a painful decision which I realize will severely impact our country and bring humiliation to another human being. At…

Mr. Speaker, we should not turn Matthew into a martyr, and his family has asked that we do not turn Matthew into a martyr. He would not want that and his family does not want that. Out of respect for Matthew, this resolution is not about…

Mr. Speaker, every crime that is committed is a hateful crime. Brutalizing another person is a reprehensible act regardless of the motivation of the criminal or the affiliation of the victim. If convicted of first-degree murder in Wyoming…

I think one thing we have to consider here is are all states equal? When the Constitution was established, it was established that all states would be equal. Well, inland states get sand and gravel for government projects from the Federal…

since Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr has delivered a report to Congress with evidence of possible impeachable offenses, the House of Representatives is required by the United States Constitution to review this information. Along with…

now that both Houses of Congress are back in session, I believe one of the primary goals that we should set our sights on is providing an across-the-board tax cut for all Americans. The Clinton administration has said that they do not…

Today we gather here to show our respect and honor for the two men who died Friday heroically in the line of duty. I knew both of them. They were both very fine men, family men. Their sacrifice needs to remind all of us how very much we…

I am a mother myself and married to a physician. There is very little that any of the previous speakers can tell me about abortions and about pregnancies and about life that I do not already know. One thing I do know is our Constitution…

I believe this Federal law is long past due. I am a parent as well. As a parent, when my children were in school, I used to have to sign a release form to allow them to go to a museum 6 blocks from the school. If they had a headache at…

I rise in support of Senate 750, an act to consolidate certain mineral interests in the National Grasslands in Billings County, North Dakota through the exchange of Federal and private mineral interests to enhance land management…

I am pleased to present the House of Representatives H.R. 3113, to extend the Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act of 1994 until September 30, 2004. The fundamental purposes of this landmark law were to establish a conservation fund and…
