We are working very hard to make energy more efficient and more affordable.

President Biden believes wholeheartedly in energy independence for our country.

It would be devastating.

30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030, that is a goal we have.

The rule does not intend to slow down any of these projects, and in fact we are like-minded that we do need to ramp up our clean energy projects.

We believe very strongly that conservation and clean energy go hand-in-hand on BLM lands.

We know that this is an all-hands-on-deck moment for energy transition, and certainly using our natural resources will help move us away from this terrible climate crisis.

Any budget cuts with respect to how we are managing this terrible drought in the West will have a negative affect on the communities that we serve.

We understood it to be congressional intent for this funding to go to the Presidio, which is public lands.

The goal is to better support the implementation of the infrastructure investments now underway.

I want to say that we are working very hard to make energy more efficient and more affordable.

I understand the challenges that many Americans face.

If spending for defense programs kept level, then non-defense programs would face steep cuts of 22 percent or more.

I will always appreciate you standing up for tribal communities and specifically for this terrible violence against Indian people.

Losing 1,500 law enforcement personnel in Indian Country would be devastating across the country.

This proposal would have, of course, real and damaging impacts on our country.

We will absolutely keep you updated, and happy to work with you moving forward to make sure that we have the folks there who need to get the work done.

We absolutely agree with you that bonding reforms are long overdue.

I don't know what kind of minerals were there. I don't think they were critical minerals.

Well, we did a mineral withdrawal in the boundary waters.

There would also be delay in BIE school repairs in the building of schools for children.

If the budget cuts go through, we could lose 1,500 tribal law enforcement personnel.

It is really important to ensure that Americans who these public lands belong to get a fair return for the resources that are on those lands.

We want to do the best job possible.

No, I did not have any conversations with Speaker Pelosi's office, but we understood it to be congressional intent.
