Rob Bishop: “I also want to say that though I have been talking in terms of volume of timber and associated revenues, when it comes…”

Just as locking up large sums of lands has been a terrible and expensive idea, locking up 30 percent of our oceans does not translate to good stewardship.

The Dingell Act, 2 years ago, was bipartisan. If this were bipartisan, we would not be here. But to illustrate that, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar).

I want to remind him that OCS revenues provide 100 percent of the funding for the LWCF, as well as significant revenues to the Gulf of Mexico coastal states for coastal restoration.

If the gentleman has no other speakers, I yield back the balance of my time.
