when you lie to Congress, you mislead us, we are going to hold you accountable.

Personal accountability is paramount. People have roles and responsibilities.

The shift in blame is just inexcusable.

I think the seriousness of this requires new leadership and a new fresh set of eyes to do that.

I think you are part of the problem. I think if we want different results, we are going to have to have different people.

Sincerely, Rob Bishop, Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources.

I need to introduce into the record a letter dated June 3, 2015, from Steven A. Ellis, Deputy Director of Operations, U.S. Department of the Interior to the Honorable Rob Bishop, Chairman.

The Chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, Congressman Rob Bishop, has publicly expressed concerns about the negative economic impact the application of certain EPA rules can have in Puerto Rico.

this is the right moment to draft legislation to resolve the political status of Puerto Rico

As the head of the agency, Ms. Archuleta is, in fact, statutorily responsible for the security of the OPM network.

It should not take 7 years to do a NEPA review before you build any project.

Congress must continue to reject such proposals and instead work in a bipartisan, bicameral way to enact a long-term sustainable revenue source for the Highway Trust Fund.

In 2011, the Simpson Bowles Commission recommended a 15-cent per gallon gas and diesel tax increase plus inflation.

It is time to get serious and increase the gas tax.

Numerous authoritative reports have come to the conclusion that, for the foreseeable future, the Federal motor fuels tax is the best method for funding transportation infrastructure investment.

There is no better time to invest in our infrastructure.

Over the long run, by mobilizing capital and increasing investment, FIRPTA reform will have a positive impact on the economy, job growth, and tax revenue.

It is not a serious proposal to pay for a long-term highway bill.
