I come from the wild West. I come from a place of wide open opportunity. And women in the West want freedom and liberty and the ability to create their own business. Women want to expand the businesses they already have and play a bigger…

The Lander plan is ready to go. So why wait for other plans and doing them all at one fell swoop?

The State of Wyoming is exempt from the Antiquities Act. I don't know if you knew there is any State that is exempt from the Antiquities Act. In 1950, when Grand Teton National Park and the Jackson Hole National Monument were combined…

When is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service going to propose a grizzly bear delisting?

Is the FWS going to meet this deadline, and if not, please explain why?

Congress must act soon to provide drought relief. Remember, it is communities like Huron, California that FEED THE WORLD!

Right now, there is only a 2 percent or less success rate in recovery of species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Well, that is a failed law.

I thank the gentlelady from Tennessee and New York. The gentlelady from New York mentioned the name of a woman who, at The New York World, was a trailblazer for women journalists. Today, my daughter, a journalist, a graduate of Columbia's…

I thank the gentlelady from New York and the gentlelady from Tennessee. Along with the gentlelady from Ohio, and someone we will hear from shortly, the gentlelady from Florida, it is an honor to be with you tonight. I represent the State…

The EPA is ignoring the consequences of their rulemaking to instead set a legal precedent for mandating unproven technologies.

Let me close by saying that I know many of my colleagues across the aisle are skeptical about whether humans contribute to climate change.

The distinction between EPA's analysis of best system for emission reduction for coal versus natural gas escapes me.

Later this month, in the State of Wyoming, a coal-fired power unit is going to shut down production for the very last time. This is going to happen 10 years before its useful life has diminished. This is happening because of Federal…

I thank the gentleman from California, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr. Royce, for yielding me time. And I thank the gentlewoman from Florida, Ms. Ros-Lehtinen, for her work on this bill. H.R. 938 recognizes the…

In closing, I would like to point out something about the difference between State lands and Federal lands. I ran my State's Office of State Lands and Investments for a time, and the rights that are conveyed by States on lands to use their…
