The Majority is pushing a so-called 30x30 idea, locking up 30 percent of our oceans by 2030, all under the guise of protecting biodiversity while tackling climate change.

I think many of those local fisheries on the coast would have some quibbling with your jurisdictional approach.

This ban is even more ridiculous after we just locked in mandatory spending of $900 million in perpetuity with the so-called Great American Outdoors Act.

Twenty years from now, come back here, and we will tell the gentleman we told him so. Madam Speaker, I have no objections to the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
