So do you believe it is time to once again delist the wolf?

is the deal the President is trying to commit America to in Paris through the United Nations, without approval from Congress, it seems--is this going to improve Wyoming's health, prosperity, and security, as well as our environment, as…

today, for the first time in 6 years, Congress will pass a budget, and we are passing a budget that actually balances. This fulfills another basic responsibility of governing and an important promise Republicans made to the American…

Obviously, this is a tight budget environment. We have this huge debt. There are many competing priorities across the globe.

I want to take a moment to recognize Dr. Walt Nolte, who will retire on June 30, 2015, after 11 years as president of Casper College. Dr. Nolte and his wife Becky joined Casper College on July 1, 2004, becoming the seventh chief executive…

I appreciate all of you being here today. Thank you for your service to our Nation and for working to advance the American interests all across the globe.

I am wondering why the administration is requesting such a large increase for global climate change where I think most people would think this could be better spent on the issues of humanitarian assistance, democracy protection, embassy…

Because we know that such a listing of sage grouse would be economically bad for our State.

It would just seem to me that sacrificing affordability for the focus of the administration, the fixation if you will, on clean energy could be an unnecessary stressor.

Because it does seem the administration's request for funding to meet the 2016 budget for the U.N., is again higher than the 25 percent.

So the regulations have a direct impact on the people and the quality of life of the people in your State.

the single largest threat to Wyoming's coal industry is EPA's Clean Power Rule.

I look at this and say we must prevent the practice of fire borrowing and prioritize funding for treatment activities to reduce future wildlife suppression costs.

So these regulations would directly hurt, hurt the people of Oklahoma.

So often those who oppose active management of our forests claim hazardous fuel projects, timber production or thinning activities will destroy watershed health and wildlife habitat.

So in your view if we do nothing, what are the consequences of, you know, what is happening with fires then?

The Administration seems intent on wanting more money for a fire cure while refusing to engage, I believe, in any serious land management fire prevention reforms.

Production coal output under the most favorable production circumstances decreases by 32 percent of the 2012 production by the year 2025.

The Forest Service has, I believe, lost its direction and its purpose.

If we are going to increase fire prevention activities that Congress needs to direct and mandate results and outcomes.

the best case impact modeling of the 111(d) scenario suggests a loss of over 7,000 jobs across the State by 2025 relative to the employment in 2012.

I am concerned with the ever increasing need to fire borrow money from fire prevention activities in the declining health of our national forests.

overall proposed carbon regulations result in a predicted decline in the State's combined coal and natural gas revenues of between 36 percent and 46 percent by 2030.

I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining be authorized to meet during the session of the Senate on April 30, 2015, at 2:30 p.m., in room SD-366 of the…
