Political Quotes

“I want to applaud the majority for bringing this strong conservation legislation to the House floor today to designate a national monument in Congressman Tipton's district. There are a number of bills like Congressman Tipton's waiting for action that would either designate a new national monument or provide designation of a new wilderness area. This includes a bill that I have sponsored to include new areas in the existing Manzano Mountains Wilderness. Congratulations to Congressman Tipton for his success in advancing local conservation efforts. I hope that this is the beginning of consideration of similar bills pending before the committee so that we can advance our conservation goals across the Nation. I yield back the balance of my time.”
