Pete Stauber

I want to thank him for introducing this important piece of legislation that builds upon the success of Good Neighbor Authority.

I support enabling our leaders to work together and expanding Good Neighbor Authority.

I have serious concerns over the misguided 7(a) loan program rules that the Biden administration has put forth.

I thank Chair Rutherford for putting on this hour. He served with honor. I thank him for continuing to lead in fighting for law enforcement in our Conference. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the many law enforcement officers who have…

I think that you know that many areas of our nation have natural resources and are abundant, so we can do these activities and keep our environment clean.

Energy prices have also gone up under this Administration by a staggering 37.2 percent.

Gas prices shot up to over $5.00 a gallon last summer and currently sit at over $3.50 per gallon.

The Biden administration put a freeze on new oil and gas leasing and reaffirmed the moratorium on coal leasing.

America is blessed with vast natural resources. It is the policy of this Subcommittee that we develop here at home under the world's best labor and environmental standards.

H.R. 1 will help as well.

We are speaking loudly and proudly in our support for the Superior National Forest Restoration Act as proposed by Congressman Stauber

Strongly supports the efforts of Congressman Stauber with his proposed legislation as well as the utilization of House Concurrent Resolution 34

Local 49 agrees with this legislation's aim to rescind PLO 7917, because from the start we have disagreed with a withdrawal of lands and mineral rights.

For purely political reasons the leases were removed without allowing an environmental assessment statement.

There is going to be no mining in the Boundary Waters or the buffer zone around it.

The fact is they are not even allowing the facts and the science to go forward in an Environmental Impact Statement in this case.

We have several mines that are being tied up right now in Montana because of activist judges for copper, for coal, for the things that we need to provide not only heat, not only energy, but an economy.

This Congress, I have been vocal about the Administration's refusal to adhere to the Mineral Leasing Act's requirement to hold quarterly lease sales.

It is of vital importance that this Committee protect our nation's ability to mine and produce minerals necessary while refusing to acquiesce to political activists who are seeking to prevent our ability to provide our country with a…

I believe the ability to mine hardrock minerals resources on American soil is one of the most important tactics that we can use to provide our country with sustainable energy independence as our country moves toward cleaner energy…

The difference between the benefits that I had working for a mine and others, I didn't have to put together a GoFundMe site.

Yes, tourism is an important part of our culture in northern Minnesota, but most of those jobs are seasonal jobs compared to the jobs that mining would provide, which are family-sustaining jobs.

It's time we come to our senses and realize that everything that sustains life is either grown or mined.

I firmly believe we can advance a responsible copper-nickel-cobalt mining industry in the region while continuing to strictly protect our natural resources we so cherish.

When it comes to mining in Minnesota, it is not an either/or proposition. We can mine and protect our environment at the same time.
