           By Mr. NORMAN:
       H.R. 6360.
       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 (the Commerce Clause) 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 (the Necessary and Proper 
     Clause) 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.
