I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Memorial Day

So the new rules come out. They are clearly meant to kill infrastructure, especially oil and gas but kind of everything. The President is touting this infrastructure bill as one of his big achievements. It was bipartisan. A number of us…

it is Thursday, and it is the time of the week that I like to celebrate an amazing person or people in my State who are doing something great for Alaska, great for America, great for the world. It is someone I like to refer to as our…

We are just, daily assaults on the good people. We are Americans too, right?

So can I get a commitment from you to do that, to not follow the suit of your current and former boss, the example of her?

If every country in the world had that global emissions profile, we wouldn't be having major greenhouse gas emissions problems globally.

That statement to me still to this day stands out as one of the most, just blatant, arrogant, lawless statements I have ever seen from a senior official.

I have asked for investigations by the IG at Department of Interior.

I was highlighting the Biden Administration's, now it is 25 Executive Orders and Executive Actions singularly focused on Alaska, 25. These hurt jobs, resource development, access to land, particularly they target the Native community.

I happen to like Administrator Regan. I think he is someone who believes in the States' role.

You are killing us, targeting my State, our State.

To me that was one of the most lawless things I have ever seen a senior Administration official say.

I believe you. But I just think it is important.

This is a big test; so is Willow.

Well, I hope this Native American Secretary of the Interior treats the Native people of my State with respect.

the President of the United States made a commitment to me and Senator Murkowski and our late, great departed Congressman, Don Young.

Delaying infrastructure is not good government. I voted for the Infrastructure Bill; Senator Capito voted for the Infrastructure Bill. This completely undermines the ability build infrastructure.

this Administration, the Biden administration has issued 22 Executive Orders or Executive Actions solely targeting Alaska, 22.

Every U.S. Senator said, hey, we should get our critical minerals and technology from America, our allies, and not China and not Russia.

The people who build it, like the Laborers, agree with my position.

This Administration reversed the Ambler Mining District road decision in Alaska.

Help me in good governance with 'aesthetic, historical, cultural, economic, social, and health impacts.' Who the heck can do that for every project in America?

Rollback of the updates to NEPA reinstate burdensome requirements that will cause excessive permit delays and allow project adversaries to use frivolous lawsuits to disrupt and upend long overdue construction.

You guys took it off the table. You cited science. It is ridiculous, OK?

I had a recent amendment in terms of instructions for our conferees on the USECA conference that passed unanimously.
