John Curtis

The Mineral Leasing Act needs to be updated to ensure this critical mineral is produced in the United States, as opposed to similar but inferior products from our adversaries.

I especially want to thank Congressman John Curtis, who sponsored the bill I am here to discuss.

We should be proud of our resources and the ability to share them with the world in a responsible way.

Do you think this project would have been completed if it were not for the private company coming in and leading the project, or would the work have ended up on the Forest Service's project backlog?

I am incredibly proud of Utah's mining industry, as opposed to what you might have heard so far in this meeting.

Utah's farmers and ranchers face too many rules while growing and raising food for Utahns and folks around the world.

If our Federal land managers just managed our forests like some of the tribes that I have visited with throughout my tenure in Congress, that we wouldn't have the same level of catastrophic wildfires we are seeing today.

For years, the Karuk Tribe urged the Forest Service to use more cultural burning in the Klamath National Forest, as their Tribe had done for thousands of years.

The sad part is that, in many cases now, tribes are bearing the brunt of mismanagement on lands that were once pristinely maintained by their ancestors.

As the dean of the Utah delegation, I have the distinct honor to rise today to introduce the newest Member of the House of Representatives, Celeste Maloy. Celeste was born in southern Utah, raised in rural Nevada, and then, as an adult…

the Supervisor's position is unacceptable

I often hear something that I don't think is scientifically correct, and that is that fossil fuels cause climate change.

The science is that it is the emissions.

I do think that it is very hypocritical when we can mine these commodities much better in a more environmentally friendly way...

H.R. 4094, introduced by Mr. Curtis, gives the Department of the Interior more flexibility in addressing issues surrounding the Great Salt Lake and the Salt Lake Basin.

I want to acknowledge how important that is, that they have spoken out in support of this, and how that is no small accomplishment.

As I said in my opening remarks, I am happy to see this legislation before us today. I appreciate the Committee's effort to bring this forward.

I suspect it is fair to say not everybody is 100 percent satisfied, but satisfied enough that we have come to the table.

I think it is important to hone in for just a minute that two-thirds of this land is going outside of San Juan County.

I just want to echo those sentiments and caution the Commission from taking action that would attempt to shoehorn an old TV regulation into the growing MVPD marketplace.

We are going to need help from Congress to make sure we fully fund this program so that we can take this insecure Chinese equipment out of our Nation's networks.

I write in support of H.R. 3397, To require the Director of the Bureau of Land Management to withdraw a rule of the Bureau of Land Management relating to conservation and landscape health.

To be clear, then, you are saying states with significant impact by this rule didn't need to be heard from, and that that was adequate. Is that what you are telling me?

This rule undermines the work of real conservationists, like farmers and ranchers who have kept the land in good health for generations.

I am writing in strong support of Congressman John Curtis' legislation, H.R. 3397.
