Raúl Grijalva: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

We write to express serious concerns about the Mining Clarity Regulatory Act, which represents an unprecedented, de facto giveaway of America's cherished public lands to mining corporations.

The passage of this legislation would also set a dangerous precedent for sacred sites.

I look forward to working with you, Madam Chair, and the other members of the Subcommittee to move this bipartisan bill in a similar bipartisan manner.

This law would apply to all of our public lands, including national parks, wilderness areas, and BLM land.
