           By Mr. MARINO:
       H.R. 2834.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation, which 
     maintains the United States Code by codifying Federal 
     statutes, pursuant to Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the 
     Constitution. Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the 
     Constitution confers on Congress the authority to make all 
     laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution the 
     powers vested by the Constitution in the government of the 
     United States, or in any department or officer thereof. This 
     legislation enacts certain laws relating to the environment 
     as title 55, United States Code, ``Environment.'' Codifying 
     Federal statutes is a necessary role of Congress with respect 
     to executing the powers vested by the Constitution in the 
     legislative branch of the United States.
