In fact, annual polls conducted by Colorado College just last year have consistently found that an overwhelming majority of voters, of constituents, of citizens in the West in particular, support monument designations.

Now, it is labeled as 'congressional oversight,' but what this bill essentially does is strip the President of the executive authority to declare national monuments on existing Federal land.

I don't think that the impeachment of Biden is appropriate, and so House Speaker Mike Johnson's ability to talk me into staying here is going to be about as successful as his ability about talking me into an unconstitutional impeachment.

This proposed rule is yet another blatant land grab designed to dismantle the fossil fuel industry and force a Green New Deal transition funded by you, the taxpayers, by the way.

There are real national security concerns on foreign investments from the CCP in U.S. agricultural land.

there has been a lot of misinformation, I think, about the opportunities for stakeholder input.

The Antiquities Act was passed in 1906 to permit exactly what this bill is trying to undermine, allowing for presidents to bypass congressional gridlock and protect critical Federal lands and resources.

I doubt that that is going to happen. And I hope that this is not par for the course...

Thank you for your consideration of this important legislation.

impairing and impinging on the hard work done by dedicated career public servants.

I am deeply disappointed that today we are considering legislation that would do the opposite, and that would take us backwards in our efforts to protect and preserve our nation's public lands.

I think it is important for us to kind of clarify for the record.

We urgently request that the members of the Subcommittee and full Committee vote against H.R. 6547.

This proposed land grab is nothing short of partisan politics meant to further restrict access to the oil and natural gas development.

We write to urge you to oppose H.R. 6547 offered by Rep. Boebert, which would circumvent a court ordered public process.

Boebert, Hon. Lauren, a Representative in Congress from the State of Colorado.

My counterparts continue to insist on discussing legislative measures that, first and foremost, conflict with congressional intent and, in my view, contravene public opinion.

they remain draft plans.
