Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the Great American Outdoors Act. My friend, Senator Daines, deserves a lot of credit. He has successfully advanced this historic legislation, historic because of its long-term dedication to our public lands. People from around the world come to tour our outstanding National Parks, including millions of visitors every year to Yellowstone and Glacier. Unfortunately, too many of our parks have fallen into disrepair. This bill begins to rebuild and repair our parks. It is also a fitting complement to our successful efforts to permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund. It provides dedicated funding to increase public access to public lands across Montana. I know how important LWCF is to Montana, and I will continue working to keep public lands in public hands and increase access. I urge my colleagues to join me today in voting for the Great American Outdoors Act. ____________________
