JUNIOR DUCK STAMP REAUTHORIZATION AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2005 -- (House of Representatives - December 18, 2005)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MARKEY. Reserving the right to object, Mr. Speaker, this is one of the most preposterous situations that the House has ever been placed in. Poised to be placed before the House in just a matter of moments is a bill, the Defense appropriations bill, which is in violation of the germaneness rules of the House; it is in violation of any scope that the Defense appropriations bill has ever allowed to be considered in that bill because inside that bill is a provision which will in fact allow for the drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge.

The gentleman from California is the chairman of the committee, the Natural Resources Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
