hastings: will the gentleman yield? the argument is not about the endangered species act but about sitting down and re-authorize an act that's not been re-authorized since 1980. mr. thompson: i ask that we do it in the authorizing bill. mr. hastings: i agree with you, i said that in my opening remark the gentleman from washington said that as well and i agree. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania rise? >> i rise to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> i'm here to rise in support of the dicks-fitzpatrick amendment. i voted for this same language a few weeks ago and i heard, we all heard compelling arguments here tonight about some challenges with the endangered species act and as has been previously stated by mr. thompson and a few others here tonight, i agree with those who said the proper venue for this is in the authorizing committee and i have great confidence in chairman hastings that he would take a thoughtful

hastings, yields back his time. the gentleman from florida, mr. webster, is recognized. . mr. webster: thank you, mr. speaker. this rule provides for an ample open debate, allowing our colleagues from across the aisle to offer legislative proposals to this bill. furthermore, the underlying bill addresses two critical concerns. if you listen to the speeches made in this chamber every day and every member of this house, unemployment and dependence on opec oil. as i have stated, 20,000 shovel-ready jobs can be created with the approval of this infrastructure project. approval of keystone x.l. pipeline will also serve to increase oil imports from our

hastings: good. i thank the gentleman very much and with that concurrence on the other side, i will yield back my time and urge adoption of the amendment. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from washington. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it and the amendment is agreed to. for what purpose does the gentlelady from california seek recognition? >> mr. chairman, i have an amendment at the desk, number 21. the chair: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: amendment offered by mrs. capps of california, page 62, after line 2, insert the following. section 609, none of the funds made -- none of the funds provided in this act may be expended by the nuclear regulatory commission for the purpose of the license renewal process for the diablo county nuclear power plant, until peer review seismic studies are completed and lessons are learned from the earthquake and tsunami from the fukushima

hastings: thank you, mr. chairman. i just want to point out that the staff clearly reverend the language here and the a-- clearly researched the language here and the applicable laws. that's what we do when we put this language in here. with that i yield to the gentleman from alaska. mr. young: the coast guard has authority for enforcement on all waters, including all rivers. in fact, sometimes the coast guard is too active on the rivers as far as i'm concerned. i've been on that river. i'm a tug boat captain, licensed mariner. my biggest challenge to this is the excessive use of the park service. now you say i won that battle. like i said before, that doesn't keep them from trying to enforce this again over the state's objections. the state didn't give them the right to register or inspect the boat. now, remember this. here's two guys giving a distress signal and a good citizen tried to help them and they flashed the badge. this sounds like you know what to me. that's not a good thing. and i get very frustrated. leave

hastings. mr. hastings: thank you very much, mr. chairman. i rise to offer this amendment that ensures that the most vulnerable members of our society no longer bear disproportionately more than their share of the environmental costs in their communities. mr. chairman, i first offered this measure the exact same amendment in the year 2005, and it was adopted in the -- into law. it has since been adopted into law in two other appropriations bills. this is the right thing to do. environmental justice is an effort to achieve health and environmental equity across all community lines. mr. chairman, i ask that my amendment be supported and unanimous consent to have my full statement included in the record. the chair: without objection. the statement is entered. mr. visclosky: i move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. visclosky: i appreciate the recognition and rise in strong support of the gentleman's amendment. appreciate him raising the issue and him offering the amendment. and certainly strongl

hastings, is recognized. mr. hastings: thank you very much, mr. speaker, and i thank my friend for yielding and compliment him on his sunshine tie over there with all that wonderful florida speakout. you too, mr. speaker, you kind of look pretty good with that color. we must be taking a picture or something around here today. mr. speaker, i rise today in strong opposition to the rule for h.r. 1938 and feel that much like the majority's previous legislation attempts to increase offshore drilling this backwards-looking, dirty energy bill will not lower the price of gasoline for the average american today, tomorrow or in the future. it manages, this bill does, to completely ignore the pressing need to develop clean, sustainable energy. in fact, only the large oil companies will benefit from this bill. in its very amplecation for the keystone -- application for the keystone x.l. pipeline extraction, it pleeves this expansion will actually raise oil and gasoline prices. the pipeline expansion connects canadian oil to the gulf of mexico, making it possi

hastings: thank you very much, mr. speaker. i thank my good friend from florida for yielding the time. mr. speaker, the airport and airway extension act of 2011, part four, extends aviation trust fund revenue collection and aviation program authority at current funding levels through september 16 of this year. while also imposing new restrictions on the essential air service program. frankly it's no substitute for a long-term federal aviation administration authorization. and casts further doubt on airport construction and safety improvements instead of ensuring air passenger safety, creating jobs, or investing in air traffic control modernization. as i'm sure most americans would agree, the word uncertain does not belong in a conversation about our nation's aviation system. and it certainly does not belong in the same sentence as air passenger safety. . i know a person in the congress who is a pilot that agrees with that statement. over the course of four years, however, great uncertainty surrounding long-term funding for the

haste, in a moment before closing. but the message from the president senate bill 627 is presented to the president the president's senior advisor would recommend he veto the bill. and somehow by some, that's been portrayed as not a veto threat, i want to say in all the time i've been here, that's the standard language used whenever there's an administration policy that says the president's senior advisors recommend that he veto the bill. that's been on anything that i've seen that is a veto message. it doesn't mean -- you people are saying oh, he's trying to leave wiggle room. no. that's the boiler plate language that they send over on a statement of administrative policy nor something that they oppose. -- for something they oppose. and we've seen it a couple dozen times in this committee. >> it's been articulate and the bulls since and commission. --bowles-simpson commission. not only are we keeping the ball down the road yet again and avoiding the difficult decisions but we would be sending the bill to the president

what is really needed, and you'll keep talking about a plan -- the hastings plan says there ought to be thoughtful deficit reduction and there ought to be enhanced revenues and taxes, if you wish to call it that. there should be tax reform that would cover all of the measures we are talking about. and we do need to address entitlements. and we as congress people need to do it and not pass it off to some commission. we need to stand up and tell the american people what is needed in this country in order for us to go forward. we have not done it in the past. and we have to get ready to do it in the future. i saw my good friend, and he is my good friend, the speaker of the house of representatives in a proposal a few weeks ago say that president obama would get his debt ceiling and we would get our tax cuts. i have news for you and everybody else. debtis not obama's ceiling. it is america's issue that has been brought to the fore. we have raised the debt ceiling 73 times since 1940. that would be during the war, several other wars along the way, processions along the way as well. we rai

hastings: mr. chairman, at a time when unemployment exceeds 9%, this so-called guidance document from my point of view, being from the west, will undermine economic growth, it will increase permitting requirements and undoubtedly lead to more litigation. according to the american farm bureau, this guidance document would, and i quote, would take an overly broad view of waters of the united states and would serve as a road map to designate nearly all bodies of water, even some dry land, as subject to federal regulation that dictates land use decisions, and i end quote. mr. chairman, water is a precious commodity, especially to those of us in the west. it is a necessary resource for many activities, including ac consult, energy, transportation -- agriculture, energy, transportation and recreation. our economy and way of life cannot afford to have the federal government claim control over all waterways in this country. this administration's attempt to enact such draconian regulations through regulator

drive slowly down the congested main streets-- beaubien and hastings-- trapped in the mesh of saturday were freshly escaped, black middle class. we snickered and were proud; the louder the streets, the prouder. we laughed at the bright clothes of a prostitute; a man sitting on a curb with a bottle in his hand. we smelled barbecue cooking in dented washtubs and our mouths watered. as much as we wanted it, we couldn't take the chance. rhythm and blues came from the windows, the throaty voice of a woman lost in the bass, in the drums, in the dirty down and out-- the grind. ♪"i love to see a funeral, then i know it ain't mine." ♪ we rolled our windows down so that the waves rolled over us like blood. we hoped to pass invisibly, knowing on monday we would return safely to our jobs, the post office, and classroom. we wanted our sufferings to be offered up as tender meat, and our triumphs to be belted out in raucous song. we had lost our voice in the suburbs, in conant gardens, where each brick house delineated a fence of silence; we had lost the right to sing in the street and damn creation.
