                          TRACY STONE-MANNING

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, today, of all days, amidst the ongoing 
flurry of dysfunction, Democrat leader Chuck Schumer is inserting a 
vote to confirm Tracy Stone-Manning as director of the Bureau of Land 
Management through the United States Senate, hidden from the view and 
the attention of local communities.
  For months, my Western Caucus colleagues and I have been pleading 
with our Senate colleagues to listen to the voices of those who have 
spoken up of Ms. Stone-Manning's radical views, her violations of 
several Federal laws, and her collusion with ecoterrorists.
  Ms. Stone-Manning is simply, clearly, and patently unfit to hold this 
office. Even several Obama administration officials, including his BLM 
director, agree.
  Let me be clear, a vote for Tracy Stone-Manning is a vote against 
farmers, ranchers, our public land users, and our rural communities 
throughout the West.
  This is a shameful display of hyperpartisanship. The Senate should 
reject her nomination and recognize that rural America deserves better.
