It will shut down economic activity in these regions of the country.

If Americans have to follow the NEPA process, then the Federal Government should have to follow the NEPA process.

What is to prevent China from coming in and purchasing up conservation leases on our Federal lands?

Congress has no authority to do this. You are overstepping your authority.

This proposed rule absolutely allows them to look at large landscapes and to shut the public out from accessing it.

It aids in the fight against wildfire, and that is because we have been able to go around the Federal Government.

They are cutting our cubic feet that we can get in timber contracts.

We do. But I would say the Black Hills National Forest is known as one of the best-managed forests in our country.

My family has lived off the land for generations. I was raised by a dad who often reminded me, 'Don't sell land, Kristi. God isn't making any more land.'

Kristi, we don't sell land because God is not making any more land.

Mark my words: there will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people.
