I have great respect for my colleague from Arkansas. I know he has a deep experience in his field, I appreciate him on the Natural Resources Committee, and I enjoy serving with him on that committee. I would ask my distinguished colleague…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado is recognized for 5 minutes.

I have great respect for my colleague from the State of Utah. I enjoy working with him on the Committee on Natural Resources and have enjoyed being able to partner with him on a number of efforts surrounding regenerative agriculture and…

I am ready to close, if that is where the gentleman from Colorado stands, also.

I appreciate the gentleman's comments and appreciate his support, actually, for this. This actually shows how we can make progress when we do have communication. In terms of what was going on, something was lacking on some of these issues…

In closing, I would like to stress again the importance of honoring HAATS and its critical mission. In July, I was pleased to join 416 of my colleagues, including Mr. Tipton, in voting for an amendment that has language that we can all get…

I will agree there is a good amendment here that we can all support. The underlying bill designated 28,000-some-odd acres surrounding Camp Hale as the first-ever National Historic Landscape. Now, Camp Hale was a U.S. Army training facility…

Reclaiming my time, I understand where the gentlewoman is coming from. Without getting into the philosophical area for time constraints over restricting lands that very few people can enter into as opposed to having lands as open as…

Again, I think it is important to underscore the facts. While I appreciate the gentleman from California making his case, his characterization of local support or lack thereof on this bill is simply not consistent with the facts, because…

Woman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Chair, I would point out that Mr. Tipton offered 10 amendments in the Rules Committee, only three of which were adopted. There were seven amendments right there that were not even…

I yield to the gentlewoman from Colorado. Ms. DeGETTE. I would just note--and the gentleman and I have actually discussed this--as we have been preparing the maps for my bill, which we are going to be seeing in the Natural Resources…

I would say, with respect to the technicalities in terms of active forest management and the interagency agreement, I suppose we will have to agree to disagree. And I appreciate the gentleman's point and, ultimately, we have clearly landed…

I appreciate Representative Tipton, my distinguished colleague, for mentioning that. I would say a few things. First, of the nine counties that are impacted, as I mentioned, eight of them have expressed support for the provisions of the…

Once again, I appreciate my colleague's comments, his passion. I am glad he has been to Montrose to be able to be there. I hope he spent a lot of money while he was there. We would appreciate that. But it is interesting, going back to a…

This is a current memorandum of understanding, something that the Forest Service itself, Chief Deputy Chris French, identified as an appropriate area for continued activities. You know, one of the big challenges that we have in the Third…

Woman, I rise today in support of the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act. I would first like to thank my colleagues and friends from the Colorado delegation, Congressman Joe Neguse, and Senator Michael Bennet, for their dedicated…

We often hear the comment on this floor on public lands bills: These lands belong to all Americans. I appreciate and I do respect the support for the CORE Act in terms of the individual communities, but I think it belies the lifestyle on…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 82, line 3, strike ``2,560'' and all that follows through line 8, and insert ``915 acres of land…
