I believe these programs are integral, they are critical, they are valuable, and it is important we get them reauthorized.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and good morning.

I thank the subcommittee chairman, again, for his indulgence and support on this particular amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 18, line 1, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $500,000)''. Page 34, line 13, after the…

I am looking forward to hearing more about Representative Trone's proposal to reauthorize the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park Advisory Committee through 2034.

It is critical that Congress act to ensure programs like this are in place to mitigate climate-induced impacts of drought on our water supply.

I hope that I can work with members of the Committee on a bipartisan basis to ensure that the Bureau continues to have both the authorities and the funds that it needs to carry out these critical programs.

It is time, in our view, for our colleagues to step up to the plate.

The Colorado River, the headwaters of which are in my district in western Colorado, is in crisis.

If you want to be serious about immigration reform, you want to be serious about the people of New York...

Has the Biden administration done everything? Has it responded the way it should every time? No.

I suspect and no, I don't suspect, I believe that this is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If my colleagues actually cared about the American people, they wouldn't be pulling this stunt and would instead get to work to keep our government funded and open.

If my GOP colleagues actually cared about the parks, they would increase funding for the Park Service.

I can assure you that the vast majority of the American people don't share their opinion and that my constituents, the folks back in Colorado, are grateful for your lifetime of service that you have given to this country.

I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to talk about my bipartisan bill, H.R. 3107.

Outdoor recreation contributed $454 billion to the national economy in 2021.

I appreciate the focus of today's hearing on the four bills that all have some connection to outdoor recreation.

I would also like to express our appreciation to the sponsors of these bipartisan pieces of legislation--Representatives Zinke, Peltola, Neguse, Lawler, and more--whose leadership on these bills will help strengthen coordination and focus…

They know that if Republicans are in control of the House, there is one thing they can count on, and that is that Republicans will shut the government down as they did in the 1990s under Speaker Newt Gingrich, as they did in 2013 under…
