Harriet Hageman

It is not Washington, DC's job to pick winners and losers.

I have no further requests for time. I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I am horrified by what you have described today, and I am absolutely furious with our Federal agencies for refusing to acknowledge and address the crisis on the border and what it is doing to the interior of our country, and most…

It is truly stunning to hear that our tribal members are being threatened by the cartels for testifying before Congress.

That RMP would lock away about 2.5 million acres, or 2.1, 2.2 million acres, depending on which chart in the RMP you read.

We need to put a stop to these illegal land grabs, administrative overreach, and outright violation of our Federal land management laws.

The entire process for FLPMA and the way that we manage our Federal lands, the stakeholders that are in the communities themselves, this entire process is to ensure that the people who are actually affected by the decisions are engaged and…

If you block grazing, if you block oil and gas development, if you block mining, there is no other way to generate revenue off of literally tens of millions of acres of land.

We are also concerned about the use of the Antiquities Act, which to date has not resulted in large areas that are productive for oil and natural gas being locked off.

I am proud to testify on my bill to prohibit the finalization of the draft Resource Management Plan, or RMP revision, and its associated Draft Environmental Impact Statement from the Bureau of Land Management that would severely restrict…

I don't think that there is a better example of that than what has been happening in Wyoming recently with the Rock Springs District Office Resource Management Plan.

I applaud that Mr. Curtis has put that bill forward.

Most disheartening about this RMP is the fact that it ignored stakeholder input over the past 12 years.

Hageman, Hon. Harriet M., a Representative in Congress from the State of Wyoming.

We strongly oppose this legislation and urge the Committee to vote 'no' on this harmful legislation if and when it comes up for a vote.

It is very apparent to me that that particular document and the Alternative B that was chosen recently by the BLM last fall is a test case.

We join Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, Bryan Newland, in emphasizing that this position is deeply regressive.

I want to thank the witnesses for your valuable testimony today.

The 477 Program should be a model to follow across all agencies to ensure programs work efficiently for tribes

This continues the Subcommittee's focus on tribal autonomy and the ways Congress can support tribal self-determination.

Just very quickly, do you believe that these are changes that could be done administratively or do you believe that the law itself needs to be changed?

Just one final statement. This amendment is to clarify that Congress intends for GSA to use all occupancy data collection techniques. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 4, line 18, insert ``, Personal Identity Verification badge swipe data isolating only the first…

I again urge my colleagues to support the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
