to follow up on that, clearly in the great State of Wyoming there are lots of farmers and lots of ranchers. It is our heritage, it is our economy, it is our future. Many people--we talked a little bit about that--to keep these operations…

the regulation of Internet gaming must be sufficient and effective.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Internet gaming is not an activity that can be confined within strict borders.

it has been more than 30 years since I was in medical school, but I still remember the day my classmates and I stood to recite the Hippocratic Oath. That is an oath which has guided doctors for centuries. At its simplest, it can be boiled…

I come to the floor, as I do each week, as a physician who practiced medicine in Wyoming for a quarter of a century, taking care of so many families there, to give a doctor's second opinion about the health care law that has now been found…

I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator is recognized. A Second Opinion

The efficiency, the consistency, the timeliness of this process should be improved if it is to serve any meaningful purpose.

Recognition is not just a legal issue; it is a matter of dignity and respect.

I come to the floor today, as I do week after week, ever since the President's health care law has been passed, to offer a doctor's second opinion about this health care law, which I believe is bad for patients, bad for providers--the…

Obviously we hear, in a bipartisan way, Mr. Chairman, we hear concerns and complaints about how long it takes to get through the Federal acknowledgment process.

Well, we want to make sure it is not going to take the Department as long to fix the process as it takes a Tribe to get through the process.

An administrative process for recognizing Indian tribes is preferable to a legislative process.

The process takes much too long, it costs far too much and the outcomes are not consistent.

I second the comments of Senator Enzi. This is an egregious provision that was included at the last moment without any consultation of Senator Enzi or I. I am extremely disappointed that we have not been able to address this matter before…

I would like to compliment my colleague from South Dakota for his commitment and continuing focus on jobs and the economy and the impact it has on our Nation and our future. I come, as I have week after week, with a doctor's second opinion…

today I wish to honor LTC Barry Gasdek, Retired, for his decades of service to Wyoming and to America. As Walter Lippmann once said, ``The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to…

I thank the Chair. A Second Opinion Mr. President, I come to the floor to do what I have done week after week since the health care bill was signed into law by President Obama, to offer a doctor's second opinion about the health care law…

In this letter, we expressed our concerns about the impending health crisis the unemployment caused by the EPA's policies is having on families, children, pregnant mothers, and on the elderly. The letter reads in part: We are writing to…

if the Chair would please give me a warning when 1 minute remains, I would appreciate that. Today I rise in support of the Inhofe Utility MACT resolution. This resolution protects communities and jobs in the West, the Midwest, and…

EPA has indicated that it expects all future fossil fueled power plants to use natural gas rather than coal.

If you are for natural gas development, do you think that we have to change something in the law then, to prevent these groups from blocking construction and development of natural gas?

And the regulations that are coming out of your organization and the Administration relating to those jobs and those communities which will have higher unemployment.

Well, the Utility MACT vote is set to occur this week.

Lisa Jackson has put forth a very powerful message to the country that if you want to build a coal plant, you've got a big problem.
