These untapped resources can be a key revenue source for tribes, particularly in rural areas, and can increase the U.S. supply of energy.

The future of energy production, and our tribal autonomy, and the future of your communities is really at stake with some of the things we are talking about today.

I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Wyoming (Ms. Hageman). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No…

This should be a no-brainer that our Federal workers and our employees should actually go to work. In fact, it is actually bipartisan. President Biden called on his Cabinet members to aggressively execute plans for Federal employees to…

This proposition is not merely an administrative change or a conveyance of responsibilities, but a critical step toward improving water use for communities in need and responsible resource management.

However, development of projects on tribal trust lands requires jumping through more hoops, more bureaucracy, and involves more agencies than on any other type of land.

Again, Mr. Chair, I think that I have made my point with these three amendments. The purpose of the DHS and Mr. Mayorkas is to secure our border and protect the homeland. He has failed. There is no other thing that our DHS should be doing…

I want to thank you for being here today and joining us on what I think is one of the more important panels that we have had.

the heavy hand of the Federal Government is just simply unacceptable

It is also why I have worked as hard as I have to try to return autonomy to the tribes.

You have the power, and the power is in the votes.

This is like serving on a board of the Southern Baptist Convention, I am telling you; it is all about more meetings.

Tribes and individual Indians control roughly 56 million acres of land, much of which holds untapped energy and mineral potential.

I don't understand why we as a Federal Government think that we are so high and mighty that we can tell an Indian Nation, period, what they can do or what they cannot do.

I am telling you it is a modern-day term of slavery, and we need to start calling it what it is and quit being nice about it.

I reiterate that we already have an identification and traceability system in place that is effective, robust, and affordable. Some larger operations have voluntarily implemented EID because they have the resources and the manpower to do…

the Biden administration has totally failed at communicating and working with the community to address the crisis that the Biden administration has created.

That does not sound to be very meaningful in terms of public engagement or decision making.

It is now visiting upon other areas and it is exploding across our country. It isn't just affecting one national park, it is affecting every community, it is affecting every state, and it is affecting the nation as a whole.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the spending reduction account), insert the following: Sec. ___. No funds…

As a result of the Biden administration not engaging in a meaningful consultation process, they reached a decision that harms your community and has caused great suffering for not only your community, but the people that they are bringing…

They instead chose to echo the lies coming out of China, that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission. Mr. Chairman, my constituents sent me to Washington, D.C., with the mandate to stop sending taxpayer dollars to the WHO, an…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

It is simply not in the interest of Americans to have their tax dollars going toward a program that studies the health burden of tobacco in other countries. This is simply an attempt to export the Federal nanny State into other countries…

Whether it was President Biden or Obama, Speaker Pelosi or Leader Schumer, these so-called leaders have waged war against American coal and oil and gas, all the while knowing they cannot replace the very energy resources they are…
