there is funding in this bill for a complex program that would lead to very few actual forest projects, and I fear it will only function as a shell for programs like the Climate Conservation Corps. And to be good stewards of our forests…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. If there is no further debate, the question is on agreeing to the amendment. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second? The clerk will call the roll. The bill…

we also need to ensure we are not closing off our parks to the world and that we continue to grow the visitation, the jobs, and the economic benefits they provide.

I also want to explore the Park Service's hiring process.

I guarantee, if we were to do a car-to-car survey of those who are waiting in line at either Glacier Park or Yellowstone National Park, and say, 'Have you ever heard of Grant-Kohrs National Historic Site?'

I echo Chairman King's remarks that we are here to learn, to hear from you all around the course that we ought to set going forward.

Glacier National Park is one of the crown jewels of the park system and a major attraction for tourists.

I think one of the ways we might be able to better address the increased visitation is looking for ways to encourage folks to spend a day at some of these lesser-visited parks.

I also believe that we should be looking at innovative ways to connect with visitors to help spread out visitation within the parks.

The beauty and the history of our national parks truly set us apart from the rest of the world.

I think we all remember those calculations that were shown, where the earlier you get in, the greater effect that has, certainly in terms of compounding effect on a retirement account, and just to help oftentimes younger employees to…

I ask unanimous consent to use a prop for my remarks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I think there are a lot of folks who want to help us solve this problem to improve the user experience and to help the businesses that surround, and are part of, these gateway communities, as well.

President Biden's nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management, Tracy Stone-Manning, may not have personally spiked trees--that is what the facts have shown as we have investigated--but she covered up a terrifying tree-spiking crime until…

One very easy thing Congress could do to help current and future retirees is to pass the bipartisan bill that I introduced with Senator Warren, which is the Retirement Savings Lost and Found Act.

It is time to restore management back to the state.

I think our Founding Fathers, by design, ensured that this city could not move real fast and wanted to keep it limited.

I truly believe we--we, being the United States--should look to support innovation and be very careful that we do not ever regulate it out of existence.

today, I rise to bring attention to new revelations about President Biden's nominee to head the Bureau of Land Management, Tracy Stone-Manning's involvement in a tree-spiking incident in Idaho, and to share why I oppose her confirmation. I…

I led the effort to get tribes the access to assistance they needed to combat the pandemic in one of the most important bipartisan bills we passed last year.

I think many in the community want to know what steps IHS takes that might better address sanitation needs in Indian Country?

Thank you, Senator Smith.

So the question is then, are these needs even included in the IHS current deficiency list, and if not, do we really have a true picture of the sanitation deficiency in Indian Country?

I truly believe this is reckless. It threatens short, medium, and long-term prosperity of our country.

I want to thank my friend and colleague Senator Braun for leading this important discussion on protecting Second Amendment rights for Montanans and for all Americans. Today, President Biden and Chuck Schumer are propping up yet another…
