I do have serious concerns with the proposed legislation, the Consolidated Land, Energy, and Aquatic Resources Act of 2009 (H.R. 3534).

H.R. 3534 creates new levels of bureaucracy which inevitably will slow new American energy.

Policies which force a decrease in production would have a devastating effect on our economy just as it struggles to recover.

I question why the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service stopped managing the overgrowth of trees.
