We must ensure that Indian children have access to a quality education.

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

People in my State feel that the bar has been raised, the goalpost has been moved in terms of the total counts.

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

Thank you very much, Senator Udall, for your thorough preparation and questioning.

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…

So my State is finding that the President's clean power plant, as part of his international climate change commitment, is going to cost thousands of good paying jobs, dramatically slash State revenue that pays for college scholarships…

As a doctor, I attest that unemployment caused by any plan will lead to serious health impacts for unemployed husbands and mothers, as well as children of the unemployed.

So what actions could Congress take to limit the growth in the U.N. budget and ensure a more equitable distribution of the costs as you just outlined?

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.

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.

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

If the cause of war is political not environmental, as is stated in this report, then is it not possible that the United States could be spending millions of dollars on foreign climate change assistance that will not actually prevent…

The report says efforts to link climate change to the deterioration of U.S. national security rely on improbable scenarios, imprecise and speculative methods, and scant empirical support.

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.

The American people deserve to know exactly how much U.S. taxpayer money is going to the United Nations and how it is being spent.

I think it is irresponsible to borrow more money to fund initiatives that are failing to prove results or provide real value for taxpayers.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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