that was in northern california. the oil companies least those cars and prevented their use. one of the major things that obama was saying -- preventative medicine, better food. making quality of food better, i think that is one of the major things that is a problem with health care. guest: you are right on both of those points. i thank you for those comments. in the old days and still today there has been a dragging of the fee. and there has been some unfortunate partnerships if you will between the oil companies and though car companies to keep all of our automobiles moving on oil. it has been a major fight. we are making a lot of progress. people have realized, even the energy companies themselves, that americans want cars that run on a multitude of fuels. we do not want to move from oil and get stuck on another -- let's say natural-gas. we do not want to move to all- electric vehicles, either. i would like to move away from a monopoly on all together and let consumers have lots of choices. because the more diversity, then consumers are put more in charge. if the price of

and when to the north woods -- redwoods of northern california. then he went to yosemite. so the president and john spent three days in the wild, camping under redwood trees. roosevelt thought the redwoods were our great cathedrals. they slept in a snowstorm without a tent. roosevelt's, with his enthusiasm, "to the greatest day i have ever spent in my life freezing in a snowstorm with john." john was more about in this. he would talk more about the plant. roosevelt was out there looking at the birds. they had a friendly competition. roosevelt thought john was one of our great figures. roosevelt was a hunter conservationist. jon scott only in extreme cases of congress should you shoot an animal. roosevelt thought that was nonsense, that you had to constantly -- that hunters with a great conservationists. john one time asked him whether you going to give that boy is hunting think of? roosevelt said, i know that i should. but he didn't. he ended up going on to africa and to brazil collecting for science and getting sustenance. before dna or radar, the way that the ornithologi

the district i represent in northern california contains nine national forests currently being overrun by illegal marijuana cultivation. this week two men opened fire on law enforcement officials during a raid on a marijuana garden near a popular fishing and recreation area. additionally in another instance two county sheriffs officers were shot when they came across another marijuana garden. thankfully these officers survived their injuries, but it is simply a matter of time before innocent lives -- lives are claimed. i urge my colleagues to support this amendment to ensure the federal government is doing its part to provide the resources we need to address this serious and growing problem. thank you. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. the gentleman from washington is recognized. mr. dicks: although i support the gentleman's amendment, i ask unanimous consent to claim the time in opposition. the chair: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. dicks: i want to say that i strongly support this amendment. it is very clear to me that in california, in wash

and northern california. these are all the same families. these are all the same people looking for work and looking for jobs. the fact of the matter is, you devastate this water system they all pay the price system of now we're trying to recover from eight years of mismanagement, from eight years of illegal activity, from eight years of throwing science out the door, and now we're left with that wreck aling, -- wreckage. there's a lot of cleanup to do after the bush administration and this is one of those projects this project has to be rehabilitated, it has to be brought together so the central valley project can serve its clients and serve the needs of the whole state of california, not just one part of the state of california. if it doesn't happen that way, it's not going to work politically, it's not going to work environmentally, it's not going to work scientifically and it's not going to work economically. we've just been telethrough eight years where people tried to segment this state-wide project int

they may be war in northern california, pennsylvania had some. a guy estimated one time having seen 4,000 in nashville tennessee. most of those were killed off just by people hunting for food, by settlers moving in and doing limited amounts of hunting for sustenance. in 1871, by then we have, they only live on the great plains which have always been the core of there, the core of their range. is probably the only place that the perpetual existence. in 18718 channing company, a tannery in england developed footwear and belting and coincided with the industrial revolution. webber was not use in the way we use it now. of machinery is run on leather. people started putting in orders and up until the point when i was talking earlier about the phase one of hunting, when i mentioned phase one i mentioned hunting for me that 1.5 of that phase, while that meat hunting was going on native americans hunted a lot of buffalo for ropes and sullivan to white people. these robes usually had, were always taken with the hair on and so they were animals hunted in w

i'm happy to report that earlier this month the united states district court of the northern district of california, which had raised questions and entertained legislation, rejected the constitutional challenges that a carrier liability provisions and dismissed all but a few of the lawsuits involved in the multidistrict litigation. they found that contrary to mr. koh, that they were constitutional and in a well-reasoned opinion said that they were right. and a bipartisan majority in both houses of congress said they were right. let me be clear, the fisa amendments act was a necessary and important piece of national security legislation that is keeping us all safe. but despite what apparently mr. koh does not see it that way. despite the overwhelming bipartisan approval. and i would urge my colleagues, even those who voted for cloture, to go back and think again to see if legislation worked on for a year in this body on a bipartisan basis and passed by this and the other body should be dismissed as hastily approved. in his book, he condemns the democratic leaders who played -- in the s

that, if you look at the undersea mapping, off of the northern shore of alaska, the mapping that has come back is really quite consequential for us, and when you recognize that the latest studies coming back from usgs in terms of the resources, the oil and gas resources, that are potentially under the arctic area there, some 30% possibly of the remaining oil and gas reserves are in these arctic waters. it has never been much interest to anybody because it was pretty near on accessible, as we are seeing changes, as we are seeing passageways open up, and we are seeing the level of commerce and activity of the north, all of a sudden, it is becoming the place to look at. unfortunately for this country, if we do not ratify a lot of the sea, -- the law of the sea, we cannot make that claim before the commission, and that is to our detriment. if we are not sitting at the table, we do not have an opportunity to either claimed as resources or be involved -- to either claim those resources or be involved. the commerce, the fishing, the shipping -- there is so much that is at stake here, and i

that if you look at the undersea mapping off of the northern shore of alaska into the chukchi, the mapping that has come back is really quite consequential for us. and when you recognize that the latest studies coming back from usgs in terms of the resources, the oil and gas resources that are potentially under the arctic area there, and some 30% possibly of the world's remaining oil and gas reserves in these arctic waters. it's never been much interest to anybody because it was pretty near un- accessible. but as we are seeing changes and parsing passageways open up and we're seeing the level of commerce and activity up north, all of a sudden it's becoming the place to look at. unfortunately for this country, if we don't ratify the law of the sea, we can't make a claim to any of those offshore resources, or make that claim before the commission. and that's to our detriment. if we are not sitting at the table we don't have an opportunity to either claim those resources or be involved with the environmental issues that will exist out there, the commerce, the fishing, the shipping. there is s

i come from the northern great plains. oh, it's got a lot of tourist destinations there, the badlands in north dakota some of the most beautiful areas in our country. there are so many destinations with such wonder to attract people to our region of the country. it's where lewis and clark and this epic adventure of theirs decided to spend the winter, mind you. they spent the winter in what is now just an area about 40 miles north of bismarck, north dakota. and we celebrated the 200th bicentennial of the lewis and clark expedition and we had a lot of people come from around the tworld see that. the fact is, every -- the world to see that. the fact, is every state in this country has something that it is anxious to show the twocialtiond say look at us, look at what we're doing here, look at how beautiful this part of america is. and so what has happened is we have been unilaterally disarmed since 9/11 to say, well, we're worried about who's going to come into this country. we certainly want to keep terrorists out. we sure do
