Use It or Use It or Lose It?

Rep. Ed Markey (D., Mass.) says USE IT Act with his H.R. 927: SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the `United States Exploration on Idle Tracts Act' or the `USE IT Act'.


Sen. Bob Casey (D., Pa.) doubles down with his S. 199, the Use It or Lose It Act: SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the `Use It or Lose It Act of 2011'.


Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.) decides to use that title himself, giving the same non-acronymic slogan to S. 600, whose eight cosponsors don't include Sen. Casey: SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the `Use It or Lose It Act of 2011'.
