by law then the current federal helium program will end and the bureau of land management or b.l.m. will no longer have the authority to sell the remaining 11 billion cubic feet of helium. it's important to note, too, mr. chairman, that the reserve contains half of our u.s. domestic supply and 30% of the world's helium supply. so if congress fails to act before october, we will artificially drop the helium supply and cause a global helium shortage that will cost jobs and severely disrupt our economy. now, despite what many think, helium is not just used for party balloons. it is essential to our 21st century economy. without helium we wouldn't have lifesaving m.r.i. machines, we wouldn't have computer chips, fiberoptic cables, or other devices used for defense needs. the bill before us today is truly a bipartisan plan. and i am pleased to have worked with the lead democrats on the natural resources committee, mr. markey from mass marks as well as our other colleagues on the committee, mr. flores of texas and mr. holt of new jersey. first, this bill would implement a new operating sys

land managers violated a key environmental law when the auction of 2,500 a. of oil leases on prime public lands in monterey county. hourly posted sunday saying that the bureauf land management should have conducted a comprehensive review of the potential impacts of friday before taking bids for the drilling rights. the judge did not indicate whether the leases themselves will be invalidated. county vessels adam lanza groups sued after the september auction and save the leases they will be decided after groups confer with the agency. it's not what you think. it's a phoenix with 4 wheels. it's a hawk with night vision goggles. it's marching to the beat of a different drum. and where beauty meets brains. it's big ideas with smaller footprints. and knowing there's always more in the world to see. it's the all-new lincoln mkz. we've made major advancements in reducing the incidents of broken bones in seniors. we've received recognition for getting hypertension under control for over 80% of our members. we've made significant advances in asthma, immunization and maternity care. and we've received numerous high ratings for our excellent standard of care. we're foc

h.r. 527 does not alter or end the contracts that the refiners have with the bureau of land management. but if we do nothing and allow the gentleman's amendment to go forward, under existing law and terms of those contracts, the entire helium program would come to an end in october of 2013. this year. the amendment would delay the implementation of the reforms in the bill until 2018 at which time it's likely there will be little helium left to distribute to anyone, to the hospitals and doctors who need it, to the electronics manufacturers who need it, to the scientists and researchers who need it. this amendment would gut the bipartisan reforms of the bill and it should be defeated. although the gentleman claims he wants to prevent disruption in the supply by preventing this legislation, he would, in fact, do just that. he would create disruptions in the supply. i thank the gentleman for yielding. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized. mr. dent: at this time i'd like to yield one minute to the gentlelady from connecticut, ms. esty. the chai

department of state, the bureau of land management, the wildlife service, the u.s. army corps of engineers were invited to this hearing and no one agreed to come. ,hroughout all of the delays two things have not changed. the nation still faces unacceptable levels of unemployment. this project would provide employment. going into the summer, we are going to have higher gasoline prices. this would provide additional oil for our consumers. to put it in a nutshell, any energy project today turns out to be a fight between environmentalists and people who want to make available energy independence in america. we have a unique opportunity to be energy independent in america. there are more safeguards put on this pipeline than any proposed to be built ever. at this moment, i would like to two the gentlemen from nebraska, who introduced hr-3. you, mr. chairman, for holding this hearing. we have been involved in this issue over two years. not until congress got involved to give the administration even begin to move the process at the state department. one of the bills that act

i think we can do it also in western oregon and in the communities that are affected by bureau of land management lands. probably to do it, we're going to have to extend the timber payments law for another year to give us the time to come up with a long-term solution. i have talked about this with sally jewell in the past, and i think her willingness to cede that this is an issue that now finally has to be addressed, addressed in a way that will get the timber harvest up in the o. n.c. lands but also protect our treasures. our old growth. this is some of the really pristine treasure of america. and, mr. president, if we don't figure out a way to promote the forest health and go in there and thin out these overstocked stands, these fires that we are seeing, they are really not natural fires, they are magnets for infernos because of years and years of neglect are going to continue, and i think sally jewell is really up to the challenge of coming up with the kinds of policies for the o.n.c. lands, for the lands we're seeing in eastern oregon and wham of my colleagues have talked about in montana and
