To be clear, that is not exactly true. This bill doesn't invest anything because it doesn't appropriate any additional money.

This formed the foundation of Representative Debbie Dingell's bipartisan Recovering America's Wildlife Act, or RAWA.

On behalf of our 70+ organizations and our millions of members and supporters, we write to express our strong opposition to H.R. 7408.

I appreciate your consideration of our concerns.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. If we had truth in labeling, this bill would be called the methane pollution and higher energy prices act. I am simply amazed that this MAGA Republican majority in this Congress, which really makes the…

I want to see, as we move forward with things like offshore wind and renewable energy transition, not just consultation with tribes, but a seat at the table for tribes.

I am proud to introduce Raymond Bacon. He is the Executive Director of economic development for the Yurok Tribe in my district.

H.R. 7157 would codify arbitrary and compressed deadlines for the disposition of claims related to the detention of potentially illegally sourced wood.

The Endangered Species Act is based on science.

This bill throws the science out the window in service of giving polluting industries what they want.

Now, we turn to H.R. 7157, the Strengthen Wood Product Supply Chains Act, a valentine to those involved in illegal logging and wildlife trafficking.

This legislation is a waste of time. It absolutely is irreconcilable with both the spirit and the goals of the Endangered Species Act.

illegal logging in Peru destabilizes the entire country. It was at the center of the violence and political instability last year.

What Republicans are hoping to do with this legislation is abolish protected status effectively in its entirety.

Bills like this are not what we need to address that crisis.

I can think of lots of legislation that could help wildlife and threaten an endangered species.

It is just bill after bill in this Committee to undermine species protection and further what I call an extinction agenda.

I appreciate your work. My understanding is that these trees are an invaluable archive of information, recording past climate and environmental conditions.

I am happy to support all of these bills, Mr. Chairman.

We are taking a break from the regularly scheduled combat we sometimes see in this Committee.

CSF strongly supports the Youth Coastal Fishing Program Act (H.R. 3925) and the Alabama Underwater Forest National Marine Sanctuary and Protection Act (H.R. 897).

It is good to be with everyone. Thank you for braving the weather and joining us today.

Harmful algal blooms are a significant threat to marine and aquatic ecosystems in all 50 states and our territories.

It is disappointing to see that breakdown in regular order.

that is like arguing filtered cigarettes won't cause cancer.
