Mr. Speaker, I will point out the great work that my colleague from Alaska has done on this issue and the potential that is in Alaska. We had the Committee on Natural Resources up there last week, and we had a bipartisan group there turning around and looking at all of the many, many resources that are in Alaska, the vast size of Alaska, and the burdens that the Federal Government has put on the State and really, I think, fallen short of living up to the promises that were made when Alaska became a State. We talked about Native Americans and their input in the process. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record this letter from Doyon Limited. Doyon, Limited, Fairbanks, AK, July 21, 2025. Hon. Nicholas J. Begich III House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Representative Begich: Thank you for introducing H.J. Res. 106, to disapprove the November 12, 2024, Central Yukon Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (Central Yukon RMP). Doyon, Limited (Doyon) strongly supports this joint resolution and urges Congress's and the President's swift action to reject this misguided and harmful planning decision.
