Legislating forest management state by state is at best bad policy, at its worst it could unravel the national forest system.
We urge the Senate to pass this bill because these withdrawals are expiring soon.
I want to begin by expressing my appreciation to the bipartisan co-sponsors of the legislation, Senator Murkowski, Senat...
We also support S. 753, Senator Heinrich's bill for the White Sands Missile Range in Fort Bliss in New Mexico.
the Army supports S. 1309 and thanks Senator Wyden for introducing it at the administration's request.
I think he is absolutely right.
I also want to express my deep gratitude to Senator Baucus for sponsoring the Heritage Act.
Keeping our communities safe, healthy, and livable is critical.
Senator Feinstein has been a stalwart member of our team and provided invaluable input on the bill.
We strongly recommend that this provision be removed from the proposed bill.
We look forward to working with the committee and the Senators to have it come as legislation.
