What are the Navy and Marine Corps plans to recruit talented individuals from rural parts of the country like Montana?

We are looking at reorganizing how we do business with Interior because the carp issue is an example.

It is irresponsible to cut programs that provide advance warning protections to protect life, health, and property of millions of Americans.

It's unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer barbecue.

Fire funding is a huge issue. I look forward to working with this committee, who has been a huge sponsor, and Mr. Simpson kind of the spiritual leader of that effort, to see if we can get that across the goal line.

I'm sick and tired of you guys. The last guy who came in here you did the same thing. Get the hell out of here.

I will not support an Interior environment bill that appropriates less than our current 2017 Fiscal Year level.

In fact, just last month, when the USS Barry showed the world that America is not bluffing when it draws a red line.

We need to fix our stuff; so the priority in this budget was fixing our stuff first.

I looked at the budget. I am not happy. We are going to fight about it. I think I am going to win at the end of the day.

The DOI, under your leadership, is now moving toward less public land and less public input which threatens the very fabric of the West.

this minimum wage and overtime rule is literally driving small mom and pop businesses out of business, because they cannot do it.

We take it personally when we see the federal government using taxpayer dollars to both negate the robust public input we provided while also silencing the valuable citizens advisory councils.

The last thing my constituents want to do is get up in the morning and think about Washington, D.C., to think about policies that are taking place here in Congress.

I recently introduced a bill with Will Hurd from Texas to address that maintenance backlog.

The Navy and Marine Corps team is one of our Nation's most visible means of projecting power across the globe and promoting peace from a position of true strength.

I want to thank this committee--particularly for being solution oriented in some of those, and we will talk about the fire funding, as Congresswoman McCollum mentioned this morning.

The priority is addressing our holdings first.
