I don't think you could say it any better about getting our children outside.

I am proud to co-lead this bill, and I am looking forward to discussing the legislation today.

However, as many of the witnesses will point out, the Cottonwood decision has made the construction projects needed to conserve wildlife more difficult.

It is time that my colleagues on the left in the Biden Administration stop trying to unconstitutionally make law-abiding citizens into criminals.

This is nothing but a cynical ploy that is going on by the Biden Administration.

There are two standards of justice that are going on.

We get frustrated when we get put back into a situation where we have to manage a resource that has really been recovered and should be managed by our state and tribal partners.

Gray wolves are fully recovered, and should remain delisted in the Lower 48.

I had a very good friend who was actually my college roommate... telling about how they are shutting us down, and we are losing so many employees.

To every single Member of Congress in this room, it is your constituents who will be put in danger if there is an injunction of fire retardant.

America desperately needs solutions to the catastrophic wildfire and forest health crisis decimating our Federal lands and forests year after year.

to not allow the use of fire retardant in fire suppression would be unconscionable.

This can't wait. The 2023 Fire Season is already here.

It is past time that we let the children be in charge that are not managing our forests.

So, it is important to pass the ACRES Act.

Congressman Rosendale's Forest Information Reform Act offers an urgently-needed permanent fix to this misguided gift to activist litigants dedicated to shutting down responsible forest management by any means necessary.

Yes. Deputy Chief French, why should Wisconsin firefighters come to the West if you are not going to use that retardant?

The temporary fix's expiration could not happen at a worse time.

The letter cautions that, if we fail to act, this will have an adverse effect on our land managers' ability to manage our forests.

So, if you want to shut down natural resources production in America, the 9th Circuit is the place to go.

My bill is a common-sense solution that would prevent the Forest Service from facing a perpetual cycle of litigation.

The National Association of State Foresters (NASF) writes to you today in support of the bipartisan effort led by Representatives LaMalfa (R-CA) and Panetta (D-CA).

So, it is not 13 days, it is 5 to 10 years.

My legislation is a key part of stopping the wildfire crisis.

The decision on Cottonwood has done nothing to improve species protection, but has instead only created new bureaucracy, red tape, and diverted precious agency resources away from actual management.
