John Curtis actually said...

"This bill is a management plan that protects the area."

"I want to make clear the point that the Bears Ears Commission is kept fully intact in this bill."

"I would certainly consider it a friendly amendment to add in that that is also in consultation with the Bears Ears Commission."

"I certainly would entertain any opportunity to insert more from the Bears Ears Commission into this that would give them the representation that they are looking for."
