AM radio has been an integral part of American history. From FDR's ``Fireside Chats'' to the Emergency Alert System, the importance of this form of media, both culturally and functionally, cannot be overstated. Forty-one percent of…

The demand for oil and gas is not going down. It is on an exponential increase.

This is unacceptable. BOEM needs to be held accountable for this.

BOEM is effectively implementing the Biden administration's policy of the attack on energy, which is an attack on America.

If we quit natural gas production, if it stopped, like many people are proposing, it affects fertilizer, which affects food, which means people are going to starve to death around the world.

National parks are obviously very important to all of us. I happen to live in Hot Springs National Park, which is a source of pride in Arkansas.

This legislation would help more groups organize events so that veterans can become more connected to nature and to each other.

As a former Navy helicopter pilot, I know that she understands how difficult it can be for our country's veterans to return to civilian life.

I am concerned that this could cause bureaucratic delays and mismanagement.

I would like to take a moment to give credit to Special Envoy Yun for his successful negotiations with the FSM and Palau.

The Compact with our Free Association partners is a national security and foreign policy success story.

Instead, we should be pursuing a noble conservation mission.

Unfortunately, litigants now use the ESA as a control tactic to preserve lands, or try to preserve lands and pursue radical agendas.

The purpose of this Act are to provide a means whereby the ecosystems upon which endangered species and threatened species depend may be conserved.
