The bipartisan Save Our Sequoias Act will codify emergency actions, provide the necessary funding to complete the work, and enhance the coordination.

sportsmen and women contribute hundreds of millions of dollars each year to wildlife conservation through the Pittman-Robinson and Dingell-Johnson programs.

I challenge each of you to work with us across party lines to prevent these giants from going extinct on our watch.

I would probably propose to call it RAHA, Restoring America's Habitat Act, because that will do more to restore wildlife than anything else.

If we don't clear out these hazardous fuels, it is not an exaggeration to say, as the video said, the giant sequoias could disappear in our lifetime.

We need to go in and do the work proactively before the fires get there.

I am proud of the fact that we have 50 bipartisan co-sponsors who have shared commitment to protecting our giant sequoias for future generations.

A grove of giant redwood sequoias should be kept just as we keep a great and beautiful cathedral.

Time is of the essence. And every day we wait can harm these giant sequoias even greater.

I hope that after today's hearing, Members on both sides of our dais will consider co-sponsoring this important piece of legislation.

when the cost of sportsmen's activities go up, participation goes down.

I find that amazing. It doesn't change the fact that there are dead whales washing up on the shore. You would think the environmental groups would be raising the red flag. But they are turning a blind eye.
