On the recordDecember 17, 2015
I associate myself with the comments of my colleague from Illinois (Mr. Rodney Davis). This is a devastating rule. By its own estimation, the administration has said this is going to kill 7,000 jobs. We know that it is far more than that. We are looking at 80,000 jobs. The States of primacy are critical stakeholders in this, Mr. Chairman. It is my understanding in the interpretation of this language that OSM will be directed to reengage and meet with those States of primacy at the States' request.
