With overwhelmingly bipartisan support at that time from across the entire political spectrum, the U.S. Congress had finally spoken and clearly defined the disposition of public lands in northern Arizona.
The only thing placing 'keep out signs' on the land does is that it forever hamstrings our citizens from making a living or enjoying the land.
The State of Arizona and Mohave County simply cannot afford to lose any more land to the federal government.
The public lands rule that we are discussing here today will help to bring us closer to the goal of a climate-resilient, ecologically intact, and culturally preserved landscape.
The Antiquities Act is a crucial land management tool to help ensure that we are able to protect these lands.
New Mexico has boldly initiated a pilot conservation leasing program of its own under her leadership.
I would argue the Biden administration to work with Congress to once again look at this model, rather than to use their time in attempting to unlawfully circumvent Congress to rewrite FLPMA.
I would make the argument that, if this is good enough for Harry Reid, it should be good enough for us.
Since his first day in office, President Biden has abused the authority of the Antiquities Act to add large swaths of acreage to the Federal estate, reducing public access in the process.
I think that you may consider this a modernization of the language in the bill, but it is an expansion that is outside the parameter of the definitions of what the mission of the agency is under the bill.
This is kind of amazing. This is breathtakingly arrogant on the part of the agency.
We need good information, and we need regulatory procedures that are not only clear, but predictable.
These minerals have to come from somewhere. If they aren't mined here, where will they be mined?
I'm encouraged by reporting that suggests that these issues are being seriously considered in the reevaluation of the previous basing decision.
I'm deeply concerned about moving Space Command's headquarters. I believe it will undermine our national security.
Overclassification of space matters is a serious issue that I believe is inhibiting rapid progress in space technology developments.
So, Chief Moore, is the Forest Service still prevented from carrying out fuel removal using categorical exclusions because of the appellate Bosworth decision?
I really question that approach, Chief, and I wish you would look into that, and hopefully change that.
I was one of over 35 bipartisan members to cosign the USGS 3DEP FY2024 funding letter to the Appropriations Committee.
I think your budget is bloated. I think it is being misused in the wrong places.
I understand that you have long-term goals, I recognize that. But to reach those goals when certain measures of the Administration reduce supply and increase prices, that has a human cost.
The soldiers at Fort Carson and their families, who sacrifice for our country daily, deserve resolution of these issues immediately.
