                 THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT

  (Mr. DAINES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAINES. Mr. Speaker, last week, the House moved forward historic 
legislation that represents widespread Montana priorities. From 
protecting some of our State's greatest treasures, as well as access to 
our public lands, to developing Montana's energy resources and creating 
better certainty for our farmers and ranchers, this bill reflects

the concerns of Montanans from across our entire State. But just as 
importantly, it represents the way we do things in Montana and the kind 
of change we need to see in Washington.
  In Montana, we know the importance of rolling up our sleeves and 
working together to get something done. By coming together, the Montana 
delegation and Montanans from all corners of our State were able to 
break gridlock in Washington and bring this most important legislation 
forward.
  I am proud that the House acted last week and passed this bill with 
strong bipartisan support. I call on the Senate to quickly do the same.
