The Secretary is also attacking multiple use of the land. Multiple use is a decades-old, bedrock principle of federal land management.

will you commit to resuming oil and gas lease sales each and every quarter going forward, as required by law?

Will you commit to fully defending your own Department's decisions to issue these leases and permits in court?

So my question is, why are you slow-walking permits and then intentionally misleading Congress and the public when you are caught?

I would expect you and your Department to fully defend the lawsuits, defending your own action here.

Now is not the time to cut the budget for the Bureau of Reclamation. The people of Wyoming and all Americans deserve better.

Instead of approving oil and gas permits on a timely basis, the Secretary has doubled the length of the permitting process.

Let's be clear: President Biden's agenda is not a transition from dirty energy to clean energy. It is a transition from American energy to foreign minerals.

The Secretary should be following the law.

If we follow President Biden's agenda, Americans will become even more dependent on China and Russia.

He stopped all of that. Since President Biden took office, the overall price of energy is up 36 percent.

He has attacked America's oil, natural gas, and coal producers at every turn and in every place he could.
