while eliminating conservation stewardship program. it's also stunning when there's an opportunity to provide performance standards for conservation. i've offered an amendment before the rules committee that would apply conservation standards that you get conservation funding if you produce results. but that's not the way it works now. the equip program. which hands out grants to help farmers improve the environment, you look at the practices that are authorized under this bill. that are funded under this bill. there are six or eight of them that actually hurt the environment. they're not required to enhance the environment. and we pay for things like fencing. and hog lagoons for big operations that ought to be able to pay their own way and they take that money that wouldn't be available to other farmers and ranchers to be able to fund programs that would actually enhance the environment. i deeply appreciate the gentlelady's leadership and i appreciate what my friend from colorado has offered up. we have other colleagues here who have

thank you madam chair i appreciate you want to improve resource stewardship. and a work work across federal state and local lines. that would also point out that we should have an example. that we have an example of where they were able to do that already the regional plans the part department is moving in there. with extensive stakeholder input to plans that allow each mistakes governor to allow how can i reconcile your rhetoric about the importance of that. with the reality that it is choosing to implement state -based plans when we all agree that conservation is a regional issue. we all know that wildlife doesn't look at state lines. they look at the habitat in the area where they live. the great state of new mexico matters. every governor but one. and they have their reorganization in place. it likely would've taken place on a regional benefit. the governors get a say but every state but one. asks for formal amendments. and the one-size-fits-all. i'm convinced is not the appropriate stewardship. some of them have that habitat. with the removal of vegetatio

[applause] >> okay. everybody, let's take a picture with leslie. [inaudible] >> after your comments that i have things to say, i'm actually at a little bit of a loss for words at the moment. i just can't begin to thank all of you enough for your wonderful kind comments and support. kind of funny being on the other side of the microphone here, or the other side of the dais. but it really was a walk down memory lane as we're recounting all the projects that happened. it actually seems like it was a relatively short period of time that all of that has transpired. i started -- i actually did try to put together a little bit of a list of people i really wanted to acknowledge and thank. and i know sometimes burman, kathrin purcha kathrin purcell. when the public comes down to the waterfront, i don't think they know what's been involved in keeping the port pristine. we have the unique feature of being up against the vibrant

i wonder how that dynamic of suddenly marrying her and having that stewardship plus his own stewardship played into the new stewardship played into the difficulties with his mother about money. >> i can only speculate. i have thought there was some tension that might have developed and that george displaced some of it onto his mother because he didn't see martha making a lot of expenditures and he watched her and facilitated sometimes her buying lots of stuff. but they were spending a whole lot of money and he was aware of that and wrote about the vicious cycle they were in as elite planters not wanting anybody to know they did not have enormous amounts of money. so they had to buy more and more things then they might go to ruin. being in that cycle and mary to -- married to a woman who was contributing to it as well, he could not criticize martha because she was spending her own money after all. but he sort of displaced that onto his mother. she is always giving it to me, i'm going to give it back to her now. that is how i think about it. i do think there was a friction that developed

nonprofits, the hunters point family organization, which is providing stewardship to all three main public spaces. it's a -- some of the people there are formerly incarcerated individuals or they're coming back -- they're starting to work again so it's an opportunity for them to be involved and for them to be stewards with the space. we're also working with a downtown streets team which are homeless folks that are helping to be ambassadors of the street and keeping it clean. there's a lot of cool stuff that civic center initiatives are keeping up on. i encourage you to keep up by checking up on their website. just to reiterate the difference between these two initiatives, one focuses on the long-term and one focuses on the short-terms. we've reached out to over 50 community organizations to get them involve and encourage them to participate in whatever ways they're most comfortable. one of the first projects that we did from an outreach perspective is something called civic center stories. i don't know if you're familiar with the humans of new york series that the new york times doe

the one size all i'm convinced is not proper stewardship. some states focus on the sage grouse or habitat or removal of vegetation on juniper trees, son is captive breeding i think states flexibility to address the issues with their fish and wildlife professionals is prudent policy. >> but i think the reality is that states that we had to have deteriorating the habitat for the sage grouse but now moving on our you planning to move the blm headquarters or significant part of the staff out of the washington d.c. region during fiscal year 2019 or any other bureau besides blm and have you done a cost analysis of the additional cost if so? that these moves would include including staff relocation cost as well as long-term travel and management? >> we have not made decisions we are evaluating the cost what it looks like and consequences and unintended consequences. the three areas we are looking at is blm, most of the western states have a high percentage of blm the bureau of reclamation which is all in the westside and a long shot possibility fis

and the one size fits all, i'm convinced, is not the appropriate stewardship. some states focus on, in the sage grouse, habitat. some focus on removal of vegetation on juniper trees, some on breeding. so, i think states' flexibility on to address issues with their fish and wild liar professionals -- wildlife professionals i think is prudent policy. >> well, i think the reality is that state flexibility ends up that we end up deteriorating the habitat for the sage grouse. moving on now, are you planning to move the blm headquarters or a significant portion of the headquarters staff out of the washington, d.c., region during the fiscal year 2019 or move any other bureau, besides blm? and if so, have you done a cost analysis of the additional costs that these moves would include, including staff relocation costs as well as long-term travel and management costs? >> we certainly have not made any decisions, and we're evaluating our costs, what it would look like, consequences, unintended consequences. the three areas we're looking at are blm. most of the western sta

of most significant concern is the fact that the bill eradcates the conservation stewardship program or csp. not only is csp the largest conservation program in the country with more than 72 million acres enrolled, it is also the only program that takes a comprehensive approach to conservation. the chairman's press materials claim the bill is prioritizing working lands conservation by folding the best features of csp into equip. this is simply not true. the bill eliminates the core components of csp, and in claiming to fold csp into equip cuts funding for the combined programs by nearly $5 billion over ten years. csp and equip are separate programs for a reason. equip is more of an on ramp towards working conservation. csp helps producers implement advanced conservation. for this reason they must be kept separate. hr-2 fails to retain the key features of csp including a comprehensive approach to conservation that considers the entire operation, and emphasis on environmental stewardship, eligibility and an equal balance between cost share assistance and stewardship support. in additio

this amendment only effects the rare instance where stewardship contracts are exchanged for cash. for the 1908 revenue sharing law, counties are entitled to 25% of all timber receipts sold from federal lands to their borders. this amendment simply ensures if this looks like a timber sale for cash, counties receive the same share they would if the forest service had sold the timber outright. the argument this amendment stipends off money is false. it does not reduce the reinvestment from contributions. furthermore, little investment can be made in our nation's forests at all if there are no local communities to cultivate the investment. this amendment ensures that counties can continue to invest in their forests and their children's future both by protecting the good work of stewardship contracting by ensuring our rural counties get their fair share. mr. speaker, i urge my colleagues to support a fair share for rural communities and yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back. does the gentlelady -- ms. herrera beutler: and i officially yield back. the c

about management of our natural resources, that we can feed the world and power the world with stewardship principles in mind as we advance the agenda. we've made important decisions, chairman, as you know, with respect to the mine situation in alaska. that was a controversial decision that was made. we made a decision based upon the data, the science, and the feedback that was provided by citizens in your state and did what was right there. recently, as i mentioned, the meth leanchloride decision from 2017. i met with individuals impacted by methanechloride and proceeded with omb. we are making tough decisions with respect to environmental protection while at the same time restoring confidence in the american people that we can engage in regulations and not pick winners and losers and not engage in coercion with our actions. that has brought i think competition and credit simple. i understood that from the -- criticism. i understand that from the beginning. there have been decisions over the last 16 or so months that as i look back i would not make the same decisions again. i'm sure we're

which in the stewardship of an american and i suppose a very extreme i suppose it's laughable the other way i look at this is that business has to go whether you like that idea that embassy moving on all diplomatic business had to go on maybe behind closed doors britain made it very clear again or is about to make it very clear again how unhappy it is with that move or not you know it would be naive to say the business can go on as well wouldn't i suppose. this news can be conducted in different ways not necessarily by trotting up to receive marching orders from the american ambassador in jerusalem let's do a little sort experiment here let's imagine what the situation would be if russia had for example recognized east jerusalem as the capital of palestine and set up or made its existing consular general in east jerusalem an embassy the british condition of being to continue doing business with no way no way there would have been. horrified exclamations legal arguments would have been found to justify position of having nothing to do with this russian embassy. it's double standards and

this is a question of stewardship.e who provide the tools need to think really about how they can provide the tools and away that users can understand and give them privacy guarantees you can understand. some manufacturers are starting to build machines that have sensors that can be physically disabled, it physically decouples the microphone from the computer, and it would go a long way toward convincing people it is not listening when they don't want it to. it would not be hard for an organization like amazon or google to build into their devices. the companies that build them are often building them as part of the surveillance economy, where they tend to make their money on monetizing the information they have about user habits. it is in some sense in their business interest to gather as much data, and this might work against them. i think they are going to have a reckoning about who the customer is. is it a person who controls the device or the advertisers and other person who want to control the users of the device
