More from Debra Haaland
the mission of the Department is to manage our public lands, to protect our cultural resources and cultural heritage for every American.
there are millions of acres of leased, non-producing Federal lands, and there are thousands of approved permits to drill that the industry is letting sit unused.
the Department of the Interior has recently finalized a number of important rules that will both promote clean energy and also ensure stronger protections for our public lands and waters while holding fossil fuel industry accountable.
I appreciate all of the support this Committee and your staff have consistently shown the Department of the Interior.
