Rob Bishop: “I want to thank you for appearing before this committee to present your agencies' budget requests.”

There really is no reason to add to this hearing--unless it is to give Members another 5 minutes to campaign, or speak on the bills. It is kind of a waste of time.

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.

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.

Thank you. I appreciate it, sir.
