Rob Bishop: “Today, unfortunately, we sit here to consider the exact opposite of what a bi-partisan compromise looks like.”

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.

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).
