"In no place is it more important to balance multiple uses, environmental protection, as well as economic development, than on America's public lands."

"The standard seems to be: did the Obama administration put it in place, and did one oil, gas, or coal company complain about it? If so, it is gone."

"Thank you. And, Vice Admiral Ray, my question is I know you are aware of how important the Port of Long Beach is to our national economy."
