"This legislation uses unobligated revenues from all energy sources to pay for the backlog maintenance in national parks."

"I don't want to pit any programs against each other, I simply want to focus our efforts on using the long-time practice of existing energy revenues to fix public lands."

"I am thankful to Congressman Hurd, Ranking Member Hanabusa, Congressman Garamendi, and Congressman Schrader for supporting this bill in an effort to fix our parks."

"It is long past due that we discuss the backlog maintenance in our national parks."
