I am really glad that that has come up today, because it is a major problem before us at this point as the leviathan of the Federal Government really consumes people's lives.

Outdoor recreation allows Americans to explore the beauty of our country, unite with family and friends, and discover new passions, strengths, and purpose.

The elusive win-win is not something we find frequently in Congress, but I am proud to lead this effort that can unite Americans from all backgrounds and political persuasions.

I look forward to working with Ranking Member Neguse and other Members across the dais to develop this package.

I am grateful that the House Natural Resources Committee is holding this hearing today to consider my Range Access Act.

I think we have to be very careful when we are doing these wilderness area designations.

I am hopeful we can address these issues in a common-sense, constructive manner to make real change for our constituents.

I look forward to working in a bipartisan and bicameral fashion to advance comprehensive legislation supporting outdoor recreation on federal lands and waters in the 118th Congress.

This legislation clarifies that for purposes of filming on Federal lands, in that case, our Federal lands are just that, our Federal lands, and they need to be accessible to all content creators, in this case, those showcasing its beauty.
