The real intentions of these short-sighted, self-interest groups are clear.

Taxpayers deserve better; landowners deserve better; fishermen deserve better; and dock workers, among many, deserve better.

The Administration, in my opinion, showed its true colors.

The prior administration mistakenly created our first national marine monuments.

Today's hearing brings together those concerned about the sweeping powers allowed under the Antiquities Act of 1906. Well over a century old, the law is in desperate need of modernization.

What is really most troubling here is that these areas already have a great deal of protections under the Magnuson-Stevens Act.

Just because the Antiquities Act has been used by Republican presidents, does not justify such closures.

What you've done is narrow that focus so that you're profiting off death.

If you actually believe in what you were talking and preaching about, I'd hope that you would cosponsor my removal of Ms. Gina McCarthy as the EPA Administrator.

I come from Arizona, where water is for fighting over, whiskey is for drinking.

What you did is you forced it down, just like everybody else does within this agency. And so, who cares about the rules?

EPA's analysis underlying the rule is, quote, flawed in multiple respects.

The rule's contradictions with legal principles, general multiple legal and technical consequences that, in the view of the Corps, would be fatal to the rule in its current form.

It must be defined specifically in statute and policy, and then let's define the budget to go with that before the agency or the President can spend it.

The far-reaching application of this new climate change model is so broad and inaccurate that there is no telling how many jobs will be lost as the President seeks to further his far left political agenda by any and all means necessary.

Just as the President has used the Department of Justice, the IRS, and the Department of Homeland Security as a political weapon, he now has expanded his arsenal to include a new tool for the EPA and his regulatory henchmen.

If we allow this to move forward, regulatory agencies will be able to cook the books to whatever manner they dream of.

No, ma'am. That's a yes or a no. You either did the due diligence or you didn't.

Did it not occur to you that you needed to evaluate the vulnerabilities at DOI for a potential cyber attack from what we knew in terms of the malware that was used in the Anthem attack?

So you knew that there were vulnerabilities. And you are also aware, I would assume, that the Sakula malware, which has been tied to the OPM attack, had been also tied to the Anthem cyber attack.

With an over $18 trillion debt, when is enough enough? If we are going to talk about foreign expenditures of dollars, let's put it in the State Department budget and make sure we have an open and honest conversation, but it does not belong…
