Government fiat can quickly replace abundance, and replace that with scarcity.

The Smokey Project on the Mendocino National Forest is an example of how litigation and critical habitat designations can interfere with much-needed forest restoration activities.

These decisions will reverse millions of dollars of successful conservation efforts, and will shut the door on future investment.

The Administration should provide a long-term strategy for doing this, not just pave the way to the next disaster.

This ping-pong approach continually fails to provide certainty to people, species and our environment.

The end result of this will be more destruction, as this locked-up land will eventually be engulfed in catastrophic wildfires.

The bill that passed the committee was partisan and wasteful. As expected, the Speaker succeeded in making a bad bill even worse. That is crazy, but that is how it goes. And things are going wrong for rural America in this bill. In fact…

In her opening remarks, the gentlewoman quoted Maya Angelou earlier. And since Maya Angelou spent her childhood in my district in Arkansas, I wholeheartedly agree with the words of Maya Angelou that we can do better. But I am not convinced…

I am glad to hear the gentlewoman is going to work to see the Billy Graham statue is quickly added, and I ask that she does the same for Arkansas statues of Johnny Cash and Daisy Bates. Madam Speaker, we don't need a do-nothing messaging…

I believe this is low, but it is a start.

Committee Republicans are focused on access, conservation, innovation, and transparency, all of which should be bipartisan and a priority.

Instead of a misguided preservationist land designation, we must promote access through true conservation.
