           By Mr. GOSAR:
       H.R. 6354.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 (the Property Clause) which 
     give Congress the power to make all needful rules and 
     regulations respecting the territory or other property 
     belonging to the United States. In Kleppe v. New Mexico, 426 
     U.S. 592 (1976), the Congress was found to have sufficient 
     power to regulate the activity of animals on public lands;
       Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3, which gives Congress the 
     power to regulate commerce among the states. If the matter in 
     question is not purely a local matter (intra-state) or if it 
     has an impact on interstate commerce, it falls within the 
     Congressional power to regulate interstate commerce. National 
     Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, 567 
     U.S._(2012);
       Article I, Section 8, clause 18, which gives Congress the 
     power make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for 
     carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other 
     Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the 
     United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
