I would actually prefer to yield my time to Congressman Stewart.

I am really pleased to hear about the work that has taken place with that community.

the title of bill is very deceptive.

5597 reflects a well-balanced compromise that has been achieved by Congressman Stewart and his staff who have worked diligently with local communities and experts in biology and ecology.

It is our hope that while we cannot change the past, we can write the future.

The Department recognizes the work of Congressman Stewart and other members of the Utah delegation.

I especially want to thank Representative Chris Stewart for his work on this balanced legislation, which is vital to the future of the desert tortoise and Washington County, Utah.

This site is important, and we need to make certain that this is a time when we are uniting all groups who worked on this site.

essential to Washington County

What about Congress? Do you think there are things Congress could do to impact at least the Federal role, the role the Federal Government might have in public land states, for example?

The restrictions, the inability to develop land locally, be it from a Federal restriction, a State restriction, or a local restriction, is a chief barrier, in many instances, to people finding meaningful work and opportunity.

Are there policies we could pursue, through legislation or otherwise, that would help alleviate this burden?

What I am saying is, in land that is held by the Federal Government and isn't being put to use currently, that is an opportunity for Congress to look and say, can it be put to better or different use.

I challenge anyone to give me evidence of collusion.

Of course. She works for him.

We want the underlying information, that's the thing that's important to us.

It's just simply -- it's insincere I believe to say, well, we can't share that when I think the primary reason is because it embarrasses them, not because they're trying to protect national security.

Look, I represent the people, I represent you and if the Department of Justice is not willing to respond to Congress then we're in the world that leaves us as a country.
