Ryan Zinke: “What is it about Bears Ears that has brought your gaze to it?”

I thank you, Chairman Simpson and Representative Kilmer, for your vision and leadership on the TERRA Act.

I remind the subcommittee that its trust and treaty obligations exist irrespective of any self-imposed budgeting caps.

I urge the subcommittee to support prompt passage of the bipartisan TERRA Act. There is no time to waste.

I think we all get that.
