Public Lands Order 7923 Disregards the Voice of the Navajo Nation and Fails to Honor Navajo Sovereignty

I find this very disrespectful, very disrespectful.

Access to veteran health care services in rural areas is often limited, and it is necessary to come up with ways to keep our veterans from going without services simply because they cannot reach the facilities that are able to provide them…

Uranium mining has been detrimental to the Navajo people for many decades and I want to make sure that it does not harm any family again.

the agency has ignored an Act of Congress, disregarded the primacy of Congressional laws over agency regulations

I oppose this legislation because it tries to minimize the significance of the importance of our protection.

It has become even more urgent and more challenging with the impacts of climate change.

And that is why I, with Senator Braun, introduced the RELIEVE Act to expand the eligibility for veterans to access emergency care from a provider outside the VA.

This is a gross underestimation of the losses that will be sustained by Navajo allottees, and completely discounts the impact the withdrawal is already having on them.

The bill extends the withdrawal for the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range located in my district, which is a top priority for the Air Force.

Be careful of the Federal Government bearing gifts. Be very, very careful.

That is sad. I am very disappointed in this hearing today.

We look forward to working with you. Thank you for your leadership, and I look forward to working with you.

We urge you to oppose H.R. 4374 and to support the protection of Chaco Canyon.

It is nothing but a socialistic agenda to push this country into a woke social program.

I also want to address uranium mining and make clear that we do not support development of any uranium mining.

I quote the Honorable John J. Duncan, Chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee at the time that NPATMA was drafted.

I am proud that Arizona already leads the way, and in so many ways, in sound water policy and stewardship.
