I think you're down to parsing words here. The study that was attempted to be undertaken by the Secretary was to study the lands for their wild land values. He obviously could not designate a wild land that doesn't exist. But that study could give us information that we would need to open land to more drilling or other purposes, or to hold it aside for scenic and other values. I yield back the balance of my time.

As California’s Insurance Commissioner, I saw firsthand the devastating impact wildfires can have on families and communities. Homes were destroyed, lives were upended, and memories built over generations were lost in a matter of hours.
There is now overwhelming evidence that Secretary McMahon has violated the law by dismantling and transferring congressionally mandated programs including ones that protect students from discrimination.
My colleagues and I will not stand for it. Today, we are filing articles of impeachment to end Secretary McMahon's out-of-control assault on the public education system and the millions of students it serves.
Secretary McMahon has been a disaster for students, teachers, and families, taking a sledgehammer to the Department of Education.
