Riding a bicycle is great. It is wonderful. Sure, we want fresh air. Sure, we want exercise. It is great for our health, but it is not great for the American taxpayer to subsidize this to bureaucrats. What about western Colorado? Are we going to subsidize our Bureau of Land Management personnel to ride horses into work? Do we pay for their feed, their lot storage? Do we get to pay for all that as well? It is never ending. The gentlewoman pointed out that this unfairly targets DOI. I am happy to defund this program in every agency across the Federal Government. We just happen to be speaking about the Department of the Interior right now. Mr. Chair, I urge adoption of my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. Boebert). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 78 Offered by Mr. Burgess The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 78 printed in part A of House Report 118-261.
