I rise today to support the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, legislation that prioritizes fiscal responsibility while boosting America's economy. The Energy and Commerce Committee provisions provide $912 billion in deficit reduction. The Ways and Means Committee provisions make real tax relief. This bill reins in Federal spending levels by rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, and strengthens our economy by ensuring that working American families can thrive without overly burdensome taxes or costly regulations. We are moving the economy and government in the right direction. The Natural Resources Committee title reduces the deficit by at least $18.5 billion while restoring commonsense management to our Federal lands and environmental programs. It will generate revenue through oil and gas leases, coal leases on Federal lands, leases for geothermal energy production, timber sales, and other activities that stimulate local economies while generating Federal revenue. It cuts waste and strengthens resource development, all while achieving significant fiscal savings. This bill is good for Utah, and it is good for America. The bill helps all Americans by helping us keep our border secure by providing law enforcement with the tools they need. Mr. Speaker, I support the bill.
