Every day, these men and women put on their uniform, kiss their families good-bye, and head to work without certainty they will return home that night. If you ask the spouse of any law enforcement officer, what is the greatest sound in the…
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.
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.
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.

Because of the Biden administration's opposition to domestic mining, we are woefully reliant on foreign sources of minerals mined in appalling environmental and labor conditions.

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…
