I have a huge concern that money transfers, as good as they are, as positive as they are, if they are open ended, they may not accomplish what we want them to accomplish.

I also rise in strong opposition to this amendment. The chairman is right. Now is not the time to open the door to cutting the ICBM fleet. China's ICBM forces are rapidly expanding, and Russia's nuclear forces, the largest in the world…

I appreciate Chairman Rogers' leadership on this legislation. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in favor of the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. This bill prioritizes our military, safeguards their rights, and puts forward a…

We also hear about support for our tribal community. We hear about supporting tribal sovereignty. But as we will discuss in a hearing later today, the Navajo were ignored when it came to the Chaco Canyon withdrawal.

I would strongly encourage consideration of the Mount Rushmore Protection Act, and I thank the committee once again for the opportunity to testify.

It is not lost on me that just a few short years ago the National Park Service was testifying before Congress in opposition to locating this very monument on the National Mall.

I am also proud to support a bill introduced by my friend and colleague, Elise Stefanik, the American Battlefield Protection Program Enhancement Act.

I look forward to working with my colleagues on this Committee on both sides of the aisle to ensure our National Mall reflects these important aspects of our American history.

There is no need for a coal moratorium.

The policy on coal leasing, which appears to be no coal leasing, is only part of the misguided effort to eliminate one of the most reliable, abundant, low-cost energy sources for US consumers.

Rather than demonizing coal, we should recognize it as an important part of our energy mix.

If you want to beat Putin in the Ukraine, stop printing money we don't have and unleash American energy.

The Biden administration's actions to block or endlessly delay coal projects deprives the United States and our allies of energy security.

Without reliable baseload power, we risk rolling blackouts, like those that have threatened California in recent years.

the record is disappointing, at best, and misses an opportunity to provide the nation with an all-of-the-above energy approach that will benefit all Americans.

Simply put, if the coal doesn't come from us, it will come from somewhere else, somewhere else with far inferior environmental and labor standards.

Coal is one of the building blocks of America.

If the dams were to be breached, the higher transportation costs could drive many family farms out of business.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Congressman Doug Lamborn and Congressman Ken Buck are working toward a common-sense solution...

I implore you to look at the disposal process, and make it more streamlined, and cut back the red tape.

I implore you to support this legislation and move it forward.

I do appreciate the opportunity and the hard work that Congresswoman Boebert has done to get us where we are today.

I believe this proposed rule is an inappropriate expansion of the BLM's Congressional mandate and statutory authority.

This rule seeks to circumvent State authority to define, analyze, and manage wildlife within our borders.

The authority to make management designations of BLM land of this magnitude must be made by Congress and not left to unelected officials.
