therefore it impacts the national wildlife refuge's ability to maintain its parks in a responsible manner and provide native animals with a refuge. we as members of congress have a federal responsibility to ensure that our national wildlife refuges are being used in the most responsible manner possible. the very agency congress has vested with the responsibility to manage our wildlife thinks these killing tactics pose a threat to the necessary diversity of the wildlife. and i agree with them. i urge my colleagues to support the ability of the fish and wildlife service to effectively manage our national wildlife refuges for future generations of americans. i urge a no vote on the amendment and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. the gentleman from alaska is recognized. mr. young: i appreciate the comments from the gentleman. i will say, though, all these instances are being referred to have not happened under state management. i will suggest respectfully the fish and wildlife is no longer a manager of fish and wildlife. they've become people that prohibit activity on the refuges. that was no

more than ever federal law enforcement officers charged with protecting our public lands deserve our respect and support. tragically marked by the illegal occupation of the national wildlife refuge by armed militants earlier this year, an occupation that house republicans officially condemned. there is growing hostility towards federal land management and is increasingly exposing federal law enforcement officers to violence, threats of violence, intimidation and disrespect. whether it's individuals like bundy who believe they are above the law and refuse to pay below market grazing fees, people trying to bomb a federal facility or treasure hunters ttempting to loot precious resources, federal law enforcement have to enforce laws, like the laci act and they deserve our support. but despite these important functions, house republicans aim to strip federal land management agencies of their law enforcement authority going so far to introduce legislation h.r. 4571 to completely dissolve b.l.m. and federal law enforcement authority. to do so would be disrespectful and outright dangerous. instead of pouring gasoline on the fire and contributing to the climate that leads to viole

enforcement officers are overworked and often not equipped to handle the concerns on our national wildlife refuges. this is a federal responsibility to protect these conservation lands, to protect the visitors that are hunting and fishing, that are sometimes disturbing natural resource areas. i mean, look at that list. it's really surprising. rapes, robberies, kidnappings and assaults. we can do better than this. we have to do everything we can to keep our neighbors safe at home and protect our natural lands. i'll urge adoption of the castor amendment so that we can address this important public safety issue. and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlewoman from florida yields back the balance of her time. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. calvert: i oppose the amendment and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from california yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from florida. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. ms. castor: i ask for a recorded v
