I would hope that the transparency pledge would follow through on that, if you reach decisions, who is making that decision and how it was determined.

it's time to turn the page and begin new administration.

The transition to Biden should begin.

The bill that I put in actually uses the language that was brought forward by Congress that says, 'shall allow hunting' but it only calls for a redesignation to a National Park.

In my opening statement I remarked on how much economic impact a national park designation would have

The New River Gorge serves as a great source of pride for my State of West Virginia and is a driver for our state's tourism industry.

This year I heard from a growing chorus of the constituents, local government officials and other West Virginia organizations and businesses who support redesignation which prompted my introduction of S. 3534.

I want to thank your staffs as well for including S. 3534, the New River Gorge National Park Designation Act, in today's proceedings.

I would encourage that because, again, I think it is a bit of a duck-and-cover.

Congress has got to do something about this.

I have introduced legislation to do just that.
