Not one small business owner, not one, said we need more regulations.

We are going to find ourselves as a country in deep trouble.

The punishment that this administration is putting forth in our small businesses is devastating to our local economy.

The Biden administration's rule and regs have put forth five times the amount than the Obama administration.

The costs in the manufacturing sector, small manufacturers incur costs of $34,671 per employee per year.

The White House made a policy decision relating to wildlife management without consulting with the Federal Government's top official relating to wildlife management.

If the license ends up in the hands of a former SBA employee, there will be an investigation into such a clear ethical violation.

I have to tell you, under this Administration, thus far, there has been $400 billion, and that is with a B, $400 billion of additional rules and regulations on American small businessmen and women.

I think that leadership at the Federal level really needs to understand that. I am not so sure they do.

I want them to enjoy this. And when you restrict access like this and you make it more difficult, we are not growing those recreational opportunities.

It is impossible for any land manager to manage their respective acreage without working with those around them.

Our great public lands are part of our way of life in northern Minnesota. That is why it is so important to my constituents that we are ensuring the greatest access possible.

Thank you very much, Chair Tiffany. I want to thank you for inviting us to your beautiful district in Hayward here, where one of the greatest KOAs is just down the roadway.

I want to be very clear: This bill will not allow mining companies to do whatever they want on public land. That is a fact. Mining activity will not occur if any facet of a mine plan of operations has not passed our strict Federal…

Can PHMSA commit to holding the next GPAC meeting on the Class Location Rule before March 2025?

I call on both Senators Klobuchar and Smith to follow the science and push for a vote on this legislation.

The ESA has been weaponized by radical activist groups that don't want to follow the science.

The gray wolf is a success story of the ESA.

What I have heard from my constituents is clear: The gray wolf has been recovered, but that is not just something we are hearing anecdotally. We have the data and the science to back it up.

The growing wolf population and the inability to properly manage its species, due largely to its listing status under the Endangered Species Act, is affecting our way of life here in Minnesota.

The management of wolf populations is the only logical path forward that can strike a balance between maintaining a healthy population and protecting the way of life of so many of our constituents.

I have no further requests for time and am prepared to close. I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I want to reiterate the fact to the American people, there will be no mining in the Boundary Waters, and there will be no mining in the buffer zone around the Boundary Waters. That was settled in 1978. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the…

First off, they have never completed an environmental review. I will be very clear: There will never be mining in the Boundary Waters or the buffer zone around it. That was decided in 1978. This bill will not circumvent or shortchange…

My colleague from California just mentioned temporary jobs. When we first started mining iron ore 145 years ago, the American Rockefeller family thought they were going to be just temporary jobs as well. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to…
