     grazing is occurring before the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary, in consultation with the lessee, may 
     allow the continuation and renewal of grazing on the land

     (including regulations).
       (D) Federal land.--The Secretary shall--
       (i) allow, consistent with the grazing leases, uses, and 
     practices in effect as of the date of enactment of this Act, 
     the continuation and renewal of grazing on Federal land 
     located within the boundary of the National Recreation Area 
     on which grazing is allowed before the date of enactment of 
     this Act, unless the Secretary determines that grazing on the 
     Federal land would present unacceptable impacts (as defined 
     in section 1.4.7.1 of the National Park Service document 
     entitled ``Management Policies 2006: The Guide to Managing 
     the National Park System'') to the natural, cultural,

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The bill, as amended, shall be debatable for 
1 hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Natural Resources.
  The gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse) and the gentleman from 
Arkansas (Mr. Westerman) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.


                             General Leave

  Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks 
and to insert extraneous material on H.R. 803.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Colorado?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 5 minutes.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 803, the Protecting 
America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act.
  I first want to thank Chairman Grijalva for his incredible leadership 
of the House Natural Resources Committee, and for bringing his Grand 
Canyon Protection Act to the floor today as part of the bill that we 
will be considering.
  I have been honored to work alongside Chair Grijalva on the Natural 
Resources Committee and I am looking forward to continuing that work as 
the chair of the National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands Subcommittee 
this Congress.
  The bill that we are considering today unifies eight standalone 
proposals as H.R. 803, the Protecting America's Wilderness and Public 
Lands Act. Representative DeGette, who is the primary sponsor, 
Representative Huffman, Representative Chu, Representative Carbajal, 
Representative Schiff, and Representative Kilmer, have all worked 
tirelessly to advocate for the places in this bill, and I am looking 
forward to hearing more from them during today's debate.
  Now, before I get carried away with the beauty of Colorado, I would 
like to acknowledge the product of our combined efforts: 1.5 million 
acres of wilderness; 1,200 miles of protected wild and scenic rivers; 
permanent mineral withdrawals for the Grand Canyon and Colorado's 
Thompson Divide.
  Each title of this bill considers how best to protect public lands 
and provide for local considerations. Together, they will improve 
access to clean water, clean air, outdoor recreation and, yes, they 
will even support jobs and our economy.
  Protecting public lands is a key part of the climate solution, and I 
am proud to say that we continue those protections here today with the 
formal support of the Biden administration.
  My contribution to this bill is the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and 
Economy Act, or the CORE Act. Through collaboration, consultation, 
negotiation, local elected officials, community members, businesses, 
outdoor recreation and conservation groups, ranchers, sportsmen, they 
have all come together to protect the outdoor areas in Colorado that we 
love.
  In many cases, Coloradans have been asking Congress to protect these 
areas for a decade or longer. In total, the CORE Act would conserve 
more than 400,000 acres of public land, and each the CORE Act's four 
sections were separately crafted by Coloradans.
  Camp Hale is one of the special places protected by the CORE Act. 
High on Colorado's Continental Divide, surrounded by the White River 
National Forest, the CORE Act would designate the first-ever National 
Historic Landscape at Camp Hale to honor the storied legacy of the 
Army's 10th Mountain Division.
  The soldiers that trained at Camp Hale led our Nation to victory in 
World War II, then went on to create the modern outdoor industry, which 
today contributes billions to Colorado's growing outdoor recreation 
economy.
  To similar ends, the CORE Act formally establishes numerous 
boundaries, also a handful of National Park Service units without a 
formal designation by Congress, which would be in this bill. This long 
overdue designation will provide new fishing access, for example, for 
sportsmen in the Gunnison River basin.
  And in yet another win for Colorado sportsmen, the CORE Act protects 
Colorado's only migration corridor over Interstate 70 for elk, mule 
deer, and other wildlife.
  These areas are just a small sampling, Mr. Speaker, of the many non-
wilderness and locally supported protections included in this bill 
today.
  Additionally, the CORE Act makes a contribution of 73,000 acres to 
our National Wilderness Preservation System. The CORE Act wilderness 
protects some of Colorado's most iconic peaks, including two 
fourteeners: Wilson Peak and Mount Sneffels.
  And of the 400,000 acres of public lands covered by the CORE Act, 
about half is for the withdrawal and protection of the Thompson Divide.
  The Thompson Divide, through ranching and outdoor recreation, 
contributes $30 million a year to Colorado's statewide economy. It is 
one of

[[Page H694]]

our most treasured landscapes and an area that is simply too valuable 
to drill for oil and gas.
  The thoughtful input and collaboration put into the CORE Act is 
apparent in each title of the Protecting America's Wilderness and 
Public Lands Act.
  Now, my colleagues may have ideological differences when it comes to 
protecting our public lands, but what we can all agree on is that the 
United States is blessed with some of the most beautiful landscapes in 
the world. And it is thanks to the careful consideration of the 
legislators that came before us and the legislators that are gathered 
here today on the floor that we are able to enjoy them today, and that 
our children will be able to enjoy them tomorrow.
  So I urge my colleagues to consider the decades of work that have 
gone into the bill that is before us and to recognize the chance that 
we all have to vote to protect these places.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I reserve the balance of my 
time.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I rise today in opposition to H.R. 803, the Protecting America's 
Wilderness and Public Lands Act.
  Contrary to the name, this bill will damage our environment, while 
simultaneously killing jobs in rural America.
  The proponents of this bill will say it is broadly supported. Listen 
to the Members who represent the districts most affected by this bill. 
They don't want it.
  Listen to the groups opposed: American Farm Bureau, American Forest 
Resource Council, or the Grand Junction, Colorado, Chamber of Commerce. 
They don't want this bill.
  This bill creates nearly 1.5 million of acres of new wilderness, 
withdraws 1.2 million acres from mineral production, and designates 
over 1,200 miles of wild scenic and recreational rivers. For 
perspective, the wilderness designated in this bill is the same size as 
President Biden's home State of Delaware.
  This Chamber has bypassed the committee process and circumvented the 
will of Members who represent districts directly impacted by this 
legislation. It was scheduled for the floor before the Committee was 
ever organized.

                              {time}  1730

  The consequences of this bill on the four Western States it impacts 
will be far-reaching. For example, if you live in Colorado and you 
enjoy recreating on mountain biking and ATV trails like the people 
pictured here on the Tabeguache Trail, this bill will shut down your 
ability to recreate on those lands. The same goes for snowmobilers, OHV 
users, and parents with strollers.
  It is very concerning that these wilderness areas will now be off-
limits to active forest management. 2020 was sadly another record-
breaking fire season. We have a problem on our national forests that is 
not going to be solved with handsaws and shovels. Now is not the time 
to rely on century-old management techniques stipulated by wilderness 
designations when over 80 million acres of U.S. Forest Service land is 
in desperate need of treatment.
  If that wasn't enough, this bill also designates lands as wilderness 
in the wildland-urban interface. This is a matter of life and death.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to clear up some misconceptions about the last 
title of this bill, the Grand Canyon Protection Act. Nobody is mining 
in the Grand Canyon; nobody wants to mine in the Grand Canyon; and 
nobody will mine in the Grand Canyon--ever. Proponents of the bill 
would have you believe that this is happening right near the Colorado 
River. In fact, there are already buffer zones in place. It is called 
the Grand Canyon National Park.
  The only saving this bill will do is saving Chinese and Russian 
uranium mining jobs. In 2019, we only produced 0.5 percent of the 
domestic uranium needed for commercial reactors. This bill goes far 
beyond the park's boundaries and the boundaries of the sponsor's home 
district to simply kill jobs to the direct benefit of our adversaries. 
This bill will make us more dependent on hostile nations like Russia, 
Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, and Chinese-owned mines in Namibia.
  In conclusion, I strongly urge my colleagues to oppose this terrible, 
horrible, no-good, very bad bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, before I yield, I would be remiss if I 
didn't say with respect to Colorado in particular, and with much 
respect to the ranking member, the Outdoor Alliance sent a letter to 
Chairman Grijalva just a few days ago in support of this bill. It was 
signed by the CEO of the International Mountain Bicycling Association, 
so I think they would have much to disagree with, with respect to some 
of the statements that were made.
  Finally, I will also say, every bill that is a component of this 
measure was marked up in the last Congress, heard in the last Congress, 
and passed the last Congress twice.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from 
Colorado (Ms. DeGette).
  Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, I am so proud to rise in support of H.R. 
803, and I am so proud to be the primary sponsor of this beautiful 
legislation, Protecting America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act.
  The bill seeks to protect some of our Nation's most treasured public 
lands. Not only will it help protect the air we breathe and the water 
we drink but also the wildlife that call these untouched areas home and 
the world-class recreation opportunities they provide.
  In all, this legislation preserves almost 3 million acres of public 
land across Colorado, California, Arizona, and Washington State. It 
designates 1.49 million acres of public land as wilderness, giving 
these areas the permanent protection that they deserve. It also 
protects an additional 1.2 million vulnerable acres from the threat of 
future uranium mining claims in Arizona, and it adds a thousand miles 
of river to the National Wild and Scenic River System.
  Preserving our Nation's public lands is about more than just 
protecting our environment. It is about protecting our economy and our 
way of life as well. In my home State of Colorado alone, our public 
lands support a $12 billion--that is a b--a $12 billion outdoor 
recreation economy and hundreds of thousands of jobs across the whole 
State.
  Perhaps most importantly, what this bill will do is to jump-start our 
commitment to protecting 30 percent of our Nation's lands by 2030 to 
help combat the climate crisis.
  This package includes eight separate public lands bills, as you heard 
from Mr. Neguse. All of those bills were heard in committee, marked up, 
and passed by this Chamber two times last year.
  I know that each of the individual bill sponsors plans to say a few 
words, so I would like to talk about title I of the legislation, which 
contains my bill, the Colorado Wilderness Act.
  This is legislation I have been working on for more than two decades 
to permanently protect about 660,000 acres of wilderness in 36 unique 
areas in Colorado. Most of these areas are low-lying canyon country, 
BLM areas that have been managed as wilderness study areas for almost 
40 years now.

  As a fourth-generation Coloradan, I know how important these lands 
are to the people of my State, from the dramatic ridgeline of Grand 
Hogback to the sprawling plateaus of Little Book Cliffs, from the 
stunning red cliffs of the Dolores River Canyon to the winding 
riverways of Browns Canyon, the areas in this bill are some of the most 
beautiful and irreplaceable landscapes that our State has to offer. It 
is why the bill has received such unbelievable support from residents, 
businesses, and groups across the State.
  You heard from Mr. Neguse about the support. More than 14,000 people 
have written letters of support, and over 350 businesses. Now, I 
personally have visited most of the areas in the bill. I have gone on 
foot, and I have gone on horseback. I even went on raft to see them for 
myself.
  I met with landowners and ranchers and business owners to get their 
feedback. And when necessary, I adjusted the boundaries to address 
their concerns.
  As I said, the Colorado Wilderness Act is just one of eight bills in 
this legislation included in the package, and I want to thank each of 
my colleagues who are here today--Representatives Huffman, Carbajal, 
Chu, Schiff, Kilmer, Neguse, and also, of course, Chairman Grijalva--
for their unwavering support and for all the work that

[[Page H695]]

they have done to get this package to the floor. I want to thank all 
the staff from the Natural Resources Committee and our personal staffs, 
too.
  I just want to say that we have worked tirelessly on this 
legislation. It is so important not just for us but for the future 
generations who will come to these very special places, who will see 
the petroglyphs that I saw the last time I went out, who will see the 
Book Cliffs and the beautiful canyons.
  I think that protecting our untouched wilderness is so important. It 
is my number one priority in this Congress, and I know all my 
cosponsors feel the same way. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the 
aisle to vote ``yes'' on this important legislation.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I include for the Record the following 
letters from multiple organizations in opposition to H.R. 803.


                             Independent Petroleum Association

                                                   of America,

                                Washington, DC, February 23, 2021.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Madam Speaker: The Independent Petroleum Association of 
     America (IPAA) is opposed to H.R. 803, the ``Protecting 
     America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act.'' This bill 
     creates nearly 1.5 million acres of new wilderness and 
     permanently withdraws 1.2 million acres from mineral 
     production. It is in direct opposition to the multiple use 
     mandate given to the Department of the Interior to manage the 
     federal estate. Many of the local communities impacted by 
     this measure, including Garfield County in Colorado which has 
     existing mineral leases and planned for further development, 
     have raised significant concerns due to the elimination of 
     multiple use of the land and the overall threat to local 
     economies and rural jobs.
       Further, many of the lands under consideration in H.R. 803 
     do not meet the basic characteristics for consideration as 
     wilderness. Instead, the legislation arbitrarily designates 
     areas as wilderness and wild and scenic rivers despite 
     official testimony provided by the relevant land management 
     agencies to previous Congresses that many of these 
     designations are inappropriate and not recommended. To 
     declare areas that do not possess these characteristics 
     undermines the integrity of the Wilderness Act and the Wild 
     and Scenic Rivers Act.
       The process by which H.R 803 is coming to the House floor 
     is also concerning. The bill did not go through regular 
     order, receiving no hearings or mark-ups in the 117th 
     Congress. In fact, the bill was scheduled for floor 
     consideration before the Natural Resources Committee had even 
     organized. Local input, especially with regards to managing 
     active mineral leases which affect jobs, should have been 
     solicited in an effort to allow the House to better 
     understand the broad impacts of the bill.
       For these reasons, IPAA is strongly opposed to H.R. 803.
       Sincerely,
     Dan Naatz,
         Senior Vice President of Government Relations and 
           Political Affairs, Independent Producers Association of 
           America.
                                  ____

                                                February 23, 2021.
     Hon. Raul Grijalva,
     Chairman, House Natural Resources Committee, Washington, DC.
     Hon. Bruce Westerman,
     Ranking Member, House Natural Resources Committee, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Grijalva and Ranking Member Westerman: The 
     signatories to this letter urge you to vote in opposition to 
     the ``Grand Canyon Protection Act'' (H.R. 1052), as stand-
     alone legislation or as part of the Protecting America's 
     Wilderness and Public Lands Act under consideration in the 
     U.S. House of Representatives this week. H.R. 1052 
     perpetuates false claims of mining in one of our nation's 
     most beautiful national parks. It also fails to acknowledge 
     our nation's alarming reliance on foreign sources of minerals 
     and would further weaken the already vulnerable supply chains 
     for key U.S. industry sectors, including manufacturing, 
     infrastructure, energy, and defense.
       Federal lands--predominantly in the western U.S.--are the 
     source of much of our nation's mineral endowment. Of these 
     federal lands, half are either off limits or under 
     restrictions to mineral development. While mining is 
     certainly not appropriate on all federal lands, maintaining 
     responsible access to the very resources that drive 
     innovation, feed economic growth and improve our nation's 
     quality of life is essential. Given the vast amount of 
     federal lands already closed to mining operations, caution 
     should be exercised when determining whether additional lands 
     should be placed off limits.
       H.R. 1052 targets more than a million acres of mineral rich 
     lands, including world-class uranium ore deposits that are 
     located well outside the boundaries of the Grand Canyon 
     National Park. The park, as created, already includes a 
     built-in buffer zone to protect park resources from 
     activities taking place outside the park boundaries and an 
     additional million-acre buffer zone is not justified. H.R. 
     1052 deliberately disregards our dangerous dependence on 
     countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan to meet our 
     nation's need for uranium to fuel our nuclear Navy and supply 
     20 percent of our nation's electricity.
       Furthermore, H.R. 1052 ignores not only the comprehensive 
     framework of federal, state, and local environmental 
     regulations that govern every aspect of mining, but the 
     findings of the Department of the Interior that the park was 
     not at risk from mining given these existing protections. In 
     fact, the U.S. Geological Survey recently concluded that the 
     nine uranium mines that have operated in northern Arizona 
     since the 1970s (since modern environmental laws took effect) 
     have caused no adverse impact to environmental or health. 
     This unwise and unwarranted mineral withdrawal is bad public 
     policy that ignores the vast sectors of our economy that 
     depend upon a reliable and secure supply chain of responsibly 
     sourced minerals and metals. It also puts President Biden's 
     renewable goals at a risk, forcing domestic manufacturers of 
     clean energy technologies to rely on increased imports of 
     these materials.
       Access to our nation's vast and diverse resources and fair 
     regulatory policies that promote certainty in the mine 
     permitting process are the elements of sound public policy 
     that should be considered when addressing resource 
     development on federal lands. We urge you to vote against 
     this misguided bill and support policies that promote 
     responsible resource development.
           Sincerely,

     of Commerce & Industry, Arizona Mining Association, National 
     Mining Association, Women's Mining Coalition, Wyoming Mining 
     Association.

                                            NSSGA, National Stone,


                                    Sand & Gravel Association,

                                                February 19, 2020.
     Hon. Raul Grijalva,
     Chairman, House Committee on Natural Resources, Washington, 
         DC.
     Hon. Bruce Westerman,
     Ranking Member, House Committee on Natural Resources, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Chairman Grijalva and Ranking Member Westerman: On 
     behalf of the 400 members of the National Stone, Sand & 
     Gravel Association (NSSGA), I am writing to express our 
     concern with certain provisions included in H.R. 803, the 
     ``Protecting America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act''. Our 
     members take extraordinary strides to responsibly produce 
     construction materials and we oppose legislation that 
     arbitrarily and permanently prohibit the development of 
     aggregates operations on millions of acres of federal lands.
       NSSGA represents aggregates producers and those who 
     manufacture equipment and services that support the 
     construction industry. Our members are essential to the work 
     of this country, and we represent more than 90 percent of the 
     crushed stone and 70 percent of the sand and gravel consumed 
     annually in the United States. Our members employ more than 
     100,000 hard-working men and women and are responsible for 
     the essential raw materials found in every home, building, 
     road, bridge and public works project.
       NSSGA is most concerned with Section 802 that would 
     permanently ban aggregate production on millions of acres of 
     land in Arizona. Such a ban would severely diminish the 
     ability for communities to access key resources that are 
     necessary for building roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, 
     homes and businesses. Allowing this ban to proceed would have 
     a significant impact on the cost of public works projects due 
     to the necessity for stone, sand and gravel required to 
     develop and repair infrastructure and buildings to be 
     imported into the area. These products are expensive to 
     transport and would further strain the budgets of local 
     communities and federal entities that are seeking to make 
     infrastructure investments in Arizona including improvements 
     to National Parks like the Grand Canyon.
       Further, permanently banning aggregate operations on these 
     federal lands would greatly impact the region and our 
     nation's energy development. Industrial sand is a key 
     component in energy production. Under the proposal access to 
     these essential materials would be limited, driving up 
     production costs that would likely be passed along to 
     customers--families and businesses that are facing 
     uncertainty during the pandemic.
       While this legislation will clearly create a competitive 
     disadvantage that has negative economic impacts for the 
     families in the impacted communities, it will also have 
     significant environmental impacts. Delaying and increasing 
     the cost of improvements to congested roads or eliminating 
     access to a material that is needed to develop a new clean 
     water project and cleaner energy sources will have real 
     environmental impacts on establishing cleaner air and water 
     and access to public lands.
       Instead of taking broad, unilateral actions to withdraw 
     access to these lands, NSSGA urges Congress to consult with 
     local stakeholders and communities to find more tailored 
     approaches to preserve treasured lands.

[[Page H696]]

     NSSGA members strongly promote conservation in both their 
     business practices and personal lives. Our member companies 
     have advanced award-winning environmental stewardship 
     projects to build critical habitats, promote biodiversity and 
     drive greatest access to recreational activities. Further, as 
     most NSSGA member quarries and plants have literally served 
     as the bedrock of their communities of decades, they take 
     great pride in engagement and are actively involved to giving 
     back to their local communities.
       Rather than rushing through the legislative process to 
     advance H.R. 803 on the floor of the House of 
     Representatives, NSSGA urges the Committee to move this large 
     public lands package through regular order in order to allow 
     more input, dialoged and discussion of these important issues 
     from all involved stakeholders.
       We appreciate your consideration of our views and please do 
     not hesitate to reach out if NSSGA may be of any assistance.
           Sincerely,

                                           Michael W. Johnson,

                                                President and CEO,
     National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association.
                                  ____

                                                February 25, 2021.
     House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Representative: On behalf of the nearly six million 
     Farm Bureau member families across the United States, we 
     write in strong opposition to H.R. 803, the Protecting 
     America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act. Collectively this 
     package of bills impacts lands in California, Colorado, 
     Arizona and Washington by creating nearly 1.5 million acres 
     of new wilderness, the most restrictive federal land use 
     classification. Additionally, it would designate 1,200 miles 
     of wild and scenic rivers and create 110,000 acres of 
     National Monument expansion. Further, many of the wilderness 
     and wild and scenic river designations contained in this bill 
     are not suitable for these restrictive designations. To 
     declare areas that do not possess these characteristics 
     undermines the integrity of the Wilderness Act and the Wild 
     and Scenic Rivers Act as well as the lands that possess those 
     features.
       Farmers and ranchers rely on federal forests and rangelands 
     for economic and recreational opportunities. Livestock 
     grazing on federal lands forms an integral part of ranching 
     operations across the United States, especially in the West. 
     But farmers also use national forests and rangelands 
     throughout the United States in a variety of other ways. 
     Federal lands throughout the country are important components 
     of our nation's watersheds that provide water to a large 
     number of Americans. Active land management practices such as 
     timber production and livestock grazing are critical to 
     protect against wildland fires which devastate range 
     resources, damage watersheds, threaten wildlife and put rural 
     communities at great risk.
       American farmers and ranchers have a genuine interest in 
     healthy and productive federal forest and rangelands. At the 
     same time, we have a genuine interest in seeing lands managed 
     in an environmentally sound manner. Farmers and ranchers 
     understand and appreciate that active management of our 
     federal lands is critical to the long-term viability of the 
     ecosystem, the resource, and the communities they support. 
     Designations included in H.R. 803 threaten multiple use areas 
     by prohibiting the employment of motorized tools and 
     mechanized vehicles in watershed management, trail 
     maintenance, soil treatment, noxious weed control, waste 
     management and fire protection.
       Our nation's federal forests are facing serious threats 
     from fires, insects and disease due to a lack of active 
     forest management. The poor health of our federal forests 
     also threatens wildlife populations and neighboring non-
     federal lands, as well as the vitality of rural, forested 
     communities across the country. A vibrant livestock and 
     forest products industry helps diversify rural economies in 
     ways that compliment ranching and agricultural operations. 
     Wilderness and National Monument designations eliminate 
     federal land management agencies ability to effectively 
     protect against the threat of catastrophic wildland fire.
       Farmers, landowners, and grazing permitees should be fully 
     involved as affected partners in any process to execute 
     federal land use designations which restrict public use and 
     access. Federal land use designations that lack local 
     stakeholder input from agricultural and resource management 
     professionals often generates significant controversy and 
     economic hardship at the local level. The detrimental effects 
     of a federal land use designation frequently causes 
     residents, elected state and county officials, and local 
     stakeholders significant reductions in economic activity and 
     the loss of jobs in rural communities. Past designations have 
     also affected water rights, public lands grazing and access 
     to State and private lands.
       Farm Bureau supports the multiple-use concept of federal 
     lands, recognizing that definable land areas have dominant-
     use capability, which should be recognized with the concept 
     of multiple uses without the total exclusion of other uses. 
     The Protecting America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act 
     stands in clear violation of AFBF policy. Additionally, the 
     California, Colorado, Arizona and Washington Farm Bureau's 
     oppose passage of this legislation.
       Farm Bureau urges you to oppose passage of H.R. 803, the 
     Protecting America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act.
           Sincerely,
       American Farm Bureau Federation, Arizona Farm Bureau, 
     California Farm Bureau, Colorado Farm Bureau, Washington Farm 
     Bureau.
                                  ____

     Raul Grijalva,
     Chairman, House Natural Resources Committee, Washington, DC.
     Bruce Westerman,
     Ranking Member, House Natural Resources Committee, 
         Washington, DC.
       Chairman Grijalva and Ranking Member Westerman:
       The National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the American 
     Sheep Industry Association and the Public Lands Council are 
     deeply concerned about the potential immediate and long-term 
     impacts of H.R. 803, the Colorado Wilderness Act. NCBA is the 
     nation's largest and oldest trade association representing 
     America's cattle producers, with other 250,000 producers 
     represented directly and through its 46 state affiliate 
     associations. Since 1865, ASI has been the national trade 
     organization representing the interests of more than 100,000 
     sheep producers located throughout the country who produce 
     America's lamb and wool. The Public Lands is the only 
     national organization dedicated solely to representing the 
     roughly 22,000 ranchers who hold federal grazing permits and 
     operate on federal lands. H.R. 803 's passage would be 
     detrimental to public lands ranchers who utilize federal 
     grazing permits.
       While this bill obviously seeks to appeal to the desire to 
     protect a landscape's natural state, the impact of 
     designating lands as wilderness, especially such vast swaths, 
     significantly compromises long-term ecological health. 
     Currently, federal lands managed for multiple use provide 
     valuable opportunity for livestock grazing, which is a tool 
     to manage fuels that contribute to the risk of catastrophic 
     wildfire. Further, grazing helps to cultivate landscapes that 
     are more suitable and healthier wildlife habitat. The 
     objectives the sponsors profess that they seek to achieve are 
     immediately undermined by designating these millions of acres 
     of wilderness. Designations limit management options, making 
     it more difficult for land managers and stewards to protect 
     these landscapes and their valuable attributes.
       Like ``wilderness,'' ``preservation'' is often a term used 
     to convey the prioritization of maintaining an area's natural 
     state, regardless of impact. While preservation may seem 
     optimal, federal lands provide significantly greater benefit 
     to all who utilize it when the conservation of resources is 
     prioritized. While preservation seeks protection of nature 
     from any use or change, conservation seeks the proper use of 
     nature, providing opportunity for ecological enhancement. 
     Grazing, for example, is a vital conservation tool to curb 
     invasive species growth, promote improved soil and forage 
     health, and reduce wildfire fuel load.
       Beyond general concerns about promoting wilderness 
     designations as a land management tool, H.R. 803 fails to 
     follow established criteria for ``wilderness,'' instead 
     arbitrarily designating areas as ``wilderness'' and ``wild 
     and scenic rivers'' despite official testimony from relevant 
     land management agencies. At a minimum, wilderness 
     determinations must be grounded in science and fact.
       As Congress continues to develop natural resources and 
     federal lands policy, it must prioritize legislation that 
     recognizes that conservation, not preservation, is the key to 
     effective land management and continued enjoyment for future 
     generations. We urge you to oppose H.R. 803, the Colorado 
     Wilderness Act, and seek more engaged, thoughtful management 
     of our precious natural resources.
           Sincerely,
       American Sheep Industry Association,
       National Cattlemen's Beef Association,
       Public Lands Council.

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Gohmert).
  Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, this package is a massive land-removal 
bill. It basically takes 2.7 million acres away from meaningful 
production.
  The one good thing I can say is, it is consistent with this majority 
and this administration's actions that make us more reliant on China 
and will enrich China. That is the one good thing; it is at least 
consistent.
  Now, the majority feels that people in this town know better than the 
people who are losing this land for the different uses for which they 
could have it. I know we are hearing today on the floor: Oh, we have 
all these people who want this bill passed.
  It should have gone through committee so we could do the motions, we 
could have witnesses, and we could find out for ourselves. After 3 
years of the Russia hoax, we really need to hear from the sources.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Huffman), the distinguished chairman of the Water, 
Oceans, and Wildlife Subcommittee.
  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am excited to be one of the sponsors of 
this great legislation, and I am grateful that it includes, as title 
II, my bill, the

[[Page H697]]

Northwest California Wilderness, Recreation, and Working Forests Act.
  This bill addresses some lands in my district that are some of the 
most biodiverse ecosystems and exciting outdoor recreation 
opportunities you will find anywhere in California. These areas are 
home to old-growth trees critical for carbon sequestration, rivers that 
provide fish habitat and unparalleled recreation, and mountain trails 
that offer hiking, biking, and other unique experiences.
  Being active in the outdoors and experiencing wild places is a way of 
life in my district. Over the past year, with lockdowns and isolation, 
we have seen how important getting outside has been for our well-being. 
We all depend on the ecological, economic, and mental health benefits 
that our public lands provide, and that is why my legislation takes a 
multifaceted approach to public land management.
  First, it includes an ambitious restoration plan to improve forest 
health, promote fire resilience, and protect communities.
  Second, it recognizes the importance of the outdoor recreation 
economy by increasing recreational opportunities and tourism. Investing 
in our public lands means we are also investing in communities near our 
public lands, and that is why there is so much broad support in my 
district for this bill.
  Then, finally, this legislation protects important wild places. These 
areas include critical habitat and ecosystems as well as some of the 
best fishing, hiking, and white water runs in the State. It takes 
conservation seriously because it is urgently needed for the future of 
our planet.
  I would also like to explain the process. I believe good process 
leads to good policy, and we have worked very hard on this bill, 
starting when I first got to Congress. We have asked stakeholders about 
policy issues that should be addressed in public lands legislation. The 
legislation was further refined over more than 5 years of work. I have 
repeatedly sat down with constituents at public meetings and otherwise. 
We have discussed all the concerns that were addressed by local 
officials.
  I believe that this comprehensive, carefully developed bill reflects 
that good process in the fact that we have such broad support, 
including conservation organizations, outdoor recreation groups, dozens 
of businesses, community leaders, adjacent landowners, and former and 
current elected officials from all the affected counties. It also drew 
bipartisan support in the Natural Resources Committee, which is a rare 
thing for a wilderness-related bill.
  This bill is focused on a future for northwest California, where 
public lands are resilient and our outdoor recreation economy grows 
while we preserve environmental values for future generations.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Colorado (Mr. Lamborn).
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I oppose this highly partisan and divisive 
legislation.
  In Colorado alone, this bill puts 700,000 acres into the most 
restrictive land use category of all--wilderness. I know the intent of 
the sponsors is to protect the land, but in practice, the use of land 
under wilderness designation is so restrictive, hardly anyone can use 
it.
  Do you dream of taking your kids or grandkids for a bike ride on 
wilderness land someday? Forget about it. Bicycles are prohibited by 
BLM in wilderness land as well as motorized vehicles, roads, 
wheelbarrows, and carts. The land is locked away from future 
generations.
  I prefer public lands with many uses, and that is where this bill 
fails our children. You can't even take a baby onto wilderness land in 
a stroller.
  Do you care about the health of our forests? Then don't vote for this 
bill. The most basic types of preventive maintenance are illegal under 
wilderness designation. You can't take a chain saw and cut away fire 
traps, and you can't trim branches or overgrown timber stands and 
underbrush.
  Colorado has had too many forest fires, and with beetle kill, parts 
of Colorado are a tinderbox. Should this become law, with its 
restrictions on fire prevention, we are going to see bigger and hotter 
fires in Colorado than ever before. I don't want to see Colorado burn 
up. That is why I am voting ``no'' on this bill.
  Many county commissioners, individual citizens, and even the U.S. 
Representative for western Colorado oppose this bill. Like me, they 
don't want to see the public lose access to wilderness areas, and they 
don't want to see our forests go up in flames. Vote ``no'' on this 
bill.

                              {time}  1745

  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Kilmer).
  Mr. KILMER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I was born and raised on the Olympic Peninsula of 
Washington State, and I know firsthand how special our region is and 
how our public lands contribute to the fabric of who we are.
  In our region, we understand that protecting our public lands isn't 
just about saving these unforgettable places for future generations. It 
also means protecting high-quality jobs for the next generation as 
well.
  That is important to me, as someone who grew up on the peninsula and 
as someone who worked in economic development professionally for over a 
decade.
  I have seen how our natural resources contribute to our economic 
vitality. Each year, millions of people and families travel to our 
State and contribute roughly $22 billion in economic impact and support 
200,000 jobs in Washington's outdoor economy.
  Our national treasures have helped create opportunities for local 
entrepreneurs who started restaurants, guided tour companies, hotels, 
and B&Bs, and other small businesses. That is why it makes sense to 
protect these special places, and that is why I am proud that the House 
is considering this comprehensive package, including a bill I 
introduced called the Wild Olympics Wilderness and Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act.
  That bill protects some of our most environmentally sensitive areas 
by establishing a new wilderness area to protect the last remaining 
old-growth stands on the peninsula and designating 19 rivers and 
tributaries as wild and scenic rivers to protect critical salmon 
spawning habitats.
  This proposal has evolved through extensive public engagement with 
Tribes, conservation groups, timber communities, business leaders, 
shellfish growers, and everybody in-between, to create a bill that 
works for our local communities.
  It is because of that outreach that this bill is now formally 
supported by more than 800 community leaders, Republicans and 
Democrats, businessowners, sportsmen, mayors, county commissioners, and 
Tribal leaders, all of whom agree this proposal moves our region in the 
right direction.
  In addition to protecting recreational access and supporting our 
outdoor economy, the bill bolsters our region's efforts to protect 
sources of clean drinking water, supporting critical salmon and 
steelhead habitats, and protecting key waterways that are vital to our 
shellfish industry.
  But just as important are all the things this bill will not do. This 
proposal will not close, decommission, or otherwise restrict access to 
any Forest Service roads or trailheads. It will not impact any 
harvestable timber base in the Olympic National Forest. I am doing a 
whole bunch of other work to increase the harvest through other 
avenues.
  This bill will not affect any private property rights. It will not 
impact how the Washington Department of Natural Resources manages 
State-owned lands, which is why it has gained support of the Washington 
commissioner of public lands.
  We know that our region's future depends on building a strong and 
diversified economy, and after years of collaboration, I think this 
bill we are considering today represents a clear win-win for the 
communities I represent.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the senior Senator from Washington, 
Senator Murray, for her partnership in this effort. I want to thank the 
lead sponsor and the Natural Resources Committee. I encourage my 
colleagues to vote in favor of this legislation.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. McClintock).
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, everything we touch in our daily lives,

[[Page H698]]

everything that makes our existence possible, everything that makes us 
more comfortable and more prosperous, everything we see in this Chamber 
comes to us in only two ways. It is either grown or it is mined. That 
is a universal truth.
  Everything we enjoy on this planet is either grown or mined. 
Fortunately, nature has given us a super abundance of resources and 
left it to us to responsibly reap and to manage this bounty.
  But it is precisely these resources that the left has waged war 
against for an entire generation. The very things that make us 
prosperous and comfortable are the things the left attempts to place 
off limits.
  Is it any wonder that the more they extend their domain, the worse 
the human conditions that they produce?
  This bill declares another 1.5 million acres of public lands, mostly 
forests, an area about the size of Delaware, a wilderness area, off 
limits to forest management, timber harvesting, and even many forms of 
public recreation. An untended forest is like an untended garden. It 
will grow until it chokes itself to death and succumbs to disease, 
pestilence, and, ultimately, catastrophic wildfire.
  These restrictions have abandoned our forests to neglect and produced 
the paradox of a severe national lumber shortage while the government 
sits on vast timber reserves.
  This bill places 1,200 more miles of rivers under similar 
restrictions that create water shortages in some of the most water-
abundant regions of our country.
  It prevents mineral extraction and energy production from another 1.2 
million acres, killing jobs, crushing the economy, and empowering our 
international adversaries. At a time when the Federal Government's bad 
management practices have created a $12 billion maintenance backlog, 
this bill takes another half million acres of land into Federal 
mismanagement.
  Understand what that means to local communities. This is land that is 
producing no taxes and little commerce. Much is being seized over local 
objections in States where the Federal Government already controls more 
than half of their entire land area.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a direct attack on working Americans who depend 
on the resources of our Nation to put food on their tables and a roof 
over their heads. It is an attack on the prosperity and security of our 
people, and it is what we have come to expect from the greens gone wild 
on the other side of the aisle.

  The result will be more dead forests, more water shortages, 
increasing costs for energy and consumer goods, lower wages, and fewer 
jobs.
  These policies always produce want from plenty, and I am afraid they 
will continue until the American people finally demand that we restore 
the nation of abundance that we once took for granted.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from California (Mr. Carbajal).
  Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I am humbled to represent the central coast of 
California, one of the most beautiful districts in the Nation, if not 
the most beautiful. Places like Los Padres National Forest and the 
Carrizo Plain National Monument contain some of the most stunning and 
diverse ecosystems found anywhere in North America.
  Today, I am pleased to support H.R. 803, the Protecting America's 
Wilderness and Public Lands Act. This bill would preserve the natural 
beauty and recreational activities available to communities in my 
district and beyond.
  This measure includes my legislation, H.R. 973, the Central Coast 
Heritage Protection Act. I am proud to have worked with Chairman 
Grijalva, Representative Brownley, Representative Panetta, and local 
stakeholders to ensure that California's central coast was included in 
this bill.
  In particular, I want to thank the Carrizo Plain Conservancy, Los 
Padres Forest Watch, Condor Trail Association, CalWild, Pew Charitable 
Trusts, and the Sierra Club for their support and advocacy on behalf of 
our public lands.
  Title IV of this environmental package would designate nearly 250,000 
acres of public land within the Los Padres National Forest and the 
Carrizo Plain National Monument as wilderness areas, the highest form 
of Federal protection available. It also creates a 400-mile Condor 
National Scenic Trail stretching from Los Angeles to Monterey County.
  This bill is the culmination of years of collaboration with local 
stakeholders and community members. It has garnered support from nearly 
500 central coast landowners, businesses, farmers, and local officials; 
a testament that protecting our environment and growing our economy are 
not mutually exclusive. In fact, they go hand in hand.
  In California alone, the outdoor recreation economy is worth $92 
billion and employs over 650,000 people. Jobs in manufacturing, retail, 
and tourism rely on access to the great outdoors. Climate change poses 
a serious threat to this sector of our economy and communities like 
mine will bear the brunt of this crisis.
  Nearly 25 percent of greenhouse gas emissions come from oil drilling. 
That is one reason I am glad the Biden administration has set an 
ambitious goal to protect 30 percent of our public lands by 2030. This 
bill will help us get there.
  Our public lands are an essential asset to our environment and 
tourism economy. Passing this bill means we can protect both for 
generations to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Louisiana (Mr. Graves).
  Mr. GRAVES of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the gentleman 
from Arkansas for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, we have listened to our friends on the other side of the 
aisle talk about their desire for protecting wilderness areas and our 
natural resources, and I want to commend them for that. I agree with 
them, we need to do a better job doing that.
  As we have had an opportunity to talk in the past, Mr. Speaker, in a 
previous life I taught mountaineering courses, I led climbing trips, I 
led mountain biking trips, kayaking, and was a river guide. I spent 
more time out in these very areas that they are talking about than 
every single one of them sitting there combined. It is what I did. It 
is how I lived for years.
  And, Mr. Speaker, listening to this talk, I see an extraordinary 
disconnect, and let me be very clear. I have heard people saying that 
this is going to promote economic development and promote recreational 
opportunity. Mr. Speaker, that is not true. It is not fact.
  As a matter of fact, what happens under this legislation in these 
designations is that those very recreational opportunities that create 
economic activity are actually eliminated. They are prohibited under 
this act.
  You cannot do things like mountain biking. I will say, they finally 
came back and made some adjustments on wilderness areas where you can 
leave descending devices--thank you--but you can't do these things.
  So how in the world are you going to make more money and have more 
economic activity?
  Are they going to offer unicorn rides?
  You can't do that. This doesn't work. It doesn't make sense. We are 
not following the regular process you do to evaluate wilderness areas.
  What happened last Congress--we have a new Member of Congress who 
represents three-quarters of this area and she wasn't given an 
opportunity to be consulted. Amendments to allow local governments and 
maybe the citizens were rejected. Let them make a decision here.
  Mr. Speaker, why were those ideas rejected?
  I had an amendment that simply said that we should allow best 
practices in wildfire management. That was prohibited. We have had 
seven million acres of this very area burned and we are prohibiting the 
best practices in wildfire management.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to know what they are going to tell their 
constituents and other people's constituents when these areas burn 
because of their irresponsible activities.

  Mr. Speaker, I urge rejection of this legislation.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, with much respect to my colleague from

[[Page H699]]

Louisiana--and I enjoy working with him--I just want to assure him, 
because he spent a great deal of time in Colorado, that he is still 
going to be able to enjoy the wonderful outdoor recreation that our 
State has under this bill.
  If anything, his ability to do so will only increase. And that is why 
the American Whitewater Association, the American Canoe Association, 
the International Mountain Bicycling Association, The American Alpine 
Club, and Backcountry Hunters & Anglers all support this bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman 
from California (Ms. Chu).
  Ms. CHU. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 803, the 
Protecting America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act.
  This legislation includes the text of my bill, H.R. 693, the San 
Gabriel Mountains Foothills and Rivers Protection Act, which is the 
result of decades of grassroots advocacy and community engagement to 
improve protections and access for these treasured lands of southern 
California.
  The San Gabriel Mountains provide 30 percent of the Los Angeles area 
water, comprise 70 percent of the county's open space, and are home to 
historic habitats of species like the California condor and Nelson's 
bighorn sheep.
  This immense natural beauty exists right in the backyard of one of 
the densest urban areas of our country, offering recreation 
opportunities like hiking, fishing, and camping to the more than 15 
million Americans that live nearby. That is so important because the 
Los Angeles region is among the most park-poor areas in the country, 
which means that too many communities are deprived of the well-
documented public and mental health benefits that result from access to 
outdoor recreation opportunities in their own neighborhood.
  After President Obama granted my request to designate the San Gabriel 
Mountains a national monument in 2014, we immediately began to see 
cleaner rivers; improved facilities, like picnic areas; safer hiking 
trails; and more rangers to interact with visitors.
  Most importantly, it brought the entire community together to develop 
a management plan for the monument with over 40 Members representing a 
variety of stakeholders, such as water agencies, local governments, the 
business community, and environmental advocates.

                              {time}  1800

  That is why this same level of protection is needed throughout the 
mountains and in the communities that serve as their gateway.
  This legislation would make that a reality by expanding the 
Monument's boundaries to include the western Angeles National Forest, 
establishing new and expanded wilderness areas, and protecting more 
than 45 miles of wild and scenic rivers. It would also establish the 
new San Gabriel Mountains National Recreation area to bolster the 
connection between urban and wild spaces.
  Mr. Speaker, for nearly two decades, so many stakeholders have worked 
together with a common vision of a community seamlessly connected to 
the beautiful wild lands in its backyard. Today, we have an opportunity 
to realize that vision.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge support for this legislation.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from Washington (Mr. Newhouse), the chair of the Western Caucus.
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. 
Westerman).
  Mr. Speaker, this morning, I joined my Congressional Western Caucus 
colleagues, Representatives Chris Stewart and Yvette Herrell, to hear 
from community leaders in their States about the severe funding 
shortfalls they are now facing due to President Biden's moratorium on 
oil and gas leases on Federal lands.
  We heard from county commissioners and education officials, including 
one who shared--in tears--the heartbreaking stories of students 
experiencing mental health challenges, who have attempted suicide due 
to the challenges facing our Nation's students. The last thing these 
communities need is to face budgetary deficiencies that threaten the 
support systems within our public schools. Yet, this legislation before 
us will contribute to those very budget shortfalls.
  By further preventing responsible energy and resource production on 
Federal lands, we are harming our Nation's energy industry, but we are 
also harming our workers by destroying their jobs. We are harming our 
students by cutting their public school funding. We are harming our 
communities by slashing their State and local budget.
  Mr. Speaker, you see, we are siloing off the effects of the pandemic 
from the actions and consequences of the Federal government regulatory 
mandates. The combinations of COVID-19, the Biden ban on Federal 
leasing, and now this massive land-grab legislation is simply going to 
devastate rural communities in the West.
  Mr. Speaker, these consequences don't take place in a silo. They take 
a toll.
  I can list many other concerning consequences--from harming our 
energy independence, restricting public access to our public lands, to 
increasing the poor health of our Nation's forest. But more than 
anything, I hope my colleagues will pause to think of the human impacts 
these actions will have on our neighbors, our fellow Americans, and the 
toll it will take after one of the most challenging years in our 
lifetimes.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on this legislation.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff), the chairman.
  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Protecting 
America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act.
  Those unfamiliar with Los Angeles may think it is a series of 
communities interconnected only by freeways. But in fact, the opposite 
is true. It is connected by the wildlife and open spaces that bridge 
our communities and bring us together.
  Mr. Speaker, for nearly 20 years, I have worked with my constituents 
to expand, preserve, and protect the space that surrounds the L.A. 
Basin, known as the Rim of the Valley. My legislation, which is 
included in H.R. 803, is the Rim of the Valley Corridor Preservation 
Act, and it would expand the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation 
area to include these pristine lands. The legislation will protect 
almost 200,000 acres of open space for generations to come.
  Los Angeles is one of the most park-poor regions in the country. And 
during the pandemic, while many of us are stuck in our homes, it has 
caused us to reevaluate our priorities and consider what matters most.
  For me and many Angelenos, it has been spending time with family and 
getting outdoors--hikes through Griffith Park, runs through the 
Verdugos, or walks in the Arroyo. Trails are full on weekends, and that 
won't change after the pandemic ends.
  By expanding the national recreation area, the National Park Service 
will have the authority to make capital improvements, like repairing 
hiking trails and maintaining facilities for public enjoyment, studying 
wildlife and its habitats, and participating in cooperative 
conservation with local landowners. It will help ensure that wildlife 
corridors that allow Los Angelenos to witness mountain lions, like P-22 
and P-96, black bears we have come to know, like Meatball, and other 
precious wildlife are still present in our own backyards.
  This package of bills will also support the Biden administration's 
commitment to conserving public lands and waters, as well as protecting 
communities from the effects of climate change.
  Like the last Congress, it is my hope that the House can pass this 
bill with bipartisan support, and we will finally see this legislation 
through to the finish line.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that we have a willing partner with 
President Biden, who strongly supports H.R. 803.
  I thank Chairman Grijalva, Representative DeGette, and my other 
colleagues who have bills in this package, for all the work they did on 
this legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 803.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from

[[Page H700]]

Minnesota (Mr. Stauber), the ranking member on the Subcommittee on 
Energy and Mineral Resources.

  Mr. STAUBER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to H.R. 
803, a package of Democrat land-grab bills that were not marked up in 
the Committee on Natural Resources and are opposed by several members 
and the constituents they serve.
  H.R. 803 is a 330-page partisan package containing 8 different bills. 
Not one bill or one page was marked up or heard in committee this 
Congress. Unfortunately, Democrats on the Committee on Natural 
Resources have waived responsibility. There have been zero markups or 
committee hearings this Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, we have 8 new Republican members on our committee, and 3 
on the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources alone, a committee 
which I lead. Our membership deserves to debate these bills and mark 
them up. Let's have our new members hear from the stakeholders and make 
decisions based on the evidence presented. We need to end this practice 
of just giving away committee jurisdiction and jamming through 
legislation.
  H.R. 803 dovetails with the Biden/Harris agenda and puts America last 
by outsourcing our supply of critical minerals and endangering our 
national security. Our submarines and aircraft carriers are powered 
with clean nuclear energy.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Carson). The time of the gentleman has 
expired.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman.
  Mr. STAUBER. Mr. Speaker, nuclear power is a huge contributor to our 
electric grid. By withdrawing areas from uranium and other mineral 
development, it furthers our reliance on Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and 
Russia--who I assure you, do not have the labor or environmental 
standards that we demand in our country and who do not have our best 
interests at heart.
  Mr. Speaker, I oppose this legislation.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire how much time each side has 
remaining?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado has 6 minutes 
remaining. The gentleman from Arkansas has 15 minutes remaining.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. LaMalfa).
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Arkansas. I 
appreciate the time.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 803.
  In my Northern California district, we are devastated year after year 
after year, as we are all over the West by wildfire and unmanaged 
forests. Adding 1.5 million more acres of untouchable lands because of 
wilderness designation does not help. It will merely make the problem 
worse.
  What is the purpose of a new wilderness designation? What does it 
achieve?
  It isn't needed to prevent a new highway or a new mine, oil and gas 
operations, or a new dam. Those are already difficult things to get 
permitted, taking years and years.
  So why do we have to have this designation? We are already so far 
behind on forest management that I don't know when we will ever get out 
of it, because every year--every year--we have devastating fires 
affecting our public lands, the access to those lands, the private 
lands that are near them, and the towns of the people that live nearby 
them as well.
  The economy has already been devastated in those areas because of 
regulatory ideas that come out of Washington, D.C., and California to 
stop the type of work that needs to be done for those logging 
communities.
  Mr. Speaker, this is wrongheaded legislation and is unnecessary.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. O'Halleran).
  Mr. O'HALLERAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Colorado for 
yielding me the time.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in favor of H.R. 803, an important 
package of public interest land protections.
  Within this comprehensive legislation is the Grand Canyon Protection 
Act. Tomorrow, the Grand Canyon celebrates 102 years as a National 
Park, making a century of welcoming visitors from all over the country 
and the world, to this First District and to America. It is recognized 
as one of the world's greatest natural wonders.
  There is no doubt that this is a special, sacred place that must be 
protected. That is why my colleagues and I introduced the Grand Canyon 
Protection Act, commonsense legislation, that would permanently ban 
uranium mining around the Grand Canyon.
  It was stated no one is mining near the Grand Canyon. There is a mine 
six miles right outside the South Gate.
  Somebody stated that there is nothing nearby that would impact the 
Grand Canyon. There are 500-plus abandoned uranium mines just outside 
the Navajo Nation, and just outside the East Gate of the Grand Canyon, 
and numerous streams and creeks and washes run from the east land into 
the Grand Canyon.
  The Grand Canyon is the base of a $1 billion-a-year tourism industry 
for the Northern Arizona region.
  Rural and Tribal communities throughout Northern Arizona are still 
grappling with the toxic waste that has been there for over almost--I 
should say, 80 years--80 years it has been there and caused health 
problems. Too many Tribal families in our district continue to fight 
the cancers and the disease caused by radiation exposures over those 
decades.
  Expanding uranium mining in the area would not only aggravate these 
serious health conditions and risks, but also make the Colorado rivers 
susceptible to uranium mining pollution. Currently, the river and 
nearby aquifers are the main water source for over 12 million people in 
the Colorado River Basin.
  Above all else, the Grand Canyon is a place of deep spiritual 
significance to many Native communities in the southwest, a home to the 
Havasupai Tribe. We must protect these lands for those who know them as 
sacred.

  Also, in today's package, are measures I have championed, including 
the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument Boundary Modification and the 
Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Boundary Adjustment.
  In a typical year, the Casa Grande Ruins attracts tens of thousands 
of visitors; but more importantly, it also is a sacred place and the 
past home of the Hohokam irrigation projects throughout the southern 
part of Arizona.
  This boundary modification will also ensure that the San Carlos 
Irrigation Project has access to critical irrigation infrastructure.
  President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, ``There is nothing so 
American as our national parks. The fundamental idea behind the parks 
is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in the process of 
making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us.''
  I don't understand how we could stand here and say that we should not 
protect one of the greatest national wonders of the world.
  Over the course of this pandemic, we have seen just how vital our 
treasured public lands and outdoor spaces have become for families 
across this country. An opportunity to get outside and celebrate what 
it is to be an American.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Utah (Mr. Moore).
  Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my concern 
with this lands package.
  I was elected just this past November, with many of my freshmen 
colleagues, and I am sincere in my commitment to work with my 
Democratic colleagues on the Committee on Natural Resources. However, 
the majority is pushing legislation with significant environmental and 
economic costs for the American people without a markup or hearing.
  The work that was done in the 116th Congress or before is great. We 
are in the 117th Congress now, and I sincerely would like to have had 
that opportunity. I was excited to be able to put forth some amendments 
to this.
  This package disregards input from local and State officials, puts 
our lands at greater risk for wildfires, and threatens livelihoods for 
those who work in extractive industries at a time when our country is 
financially hurting from the pandemic.

[[Page H701]]

  Mr. Speaker, this style of policymaking is unsustainable, and it has 
major ramifications for Utahns. The policies that result from H.R. 803 
will impact jobs and recreation and restrict local input over our 
lands.
  Mr. Speaker, for these reasons, I oppose H.R. 803. But I stand here 
hopeful that we can come together and find common ground.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
New Mexico (Ms. Herrell).
  Ms. HERRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this 
partisan wilderness package before us today.
  This bill is yet another example of the majority taking steps to 
prevent the creation of high-wage jobs and access to our public lands 
all while ceding our energy independence to foreign adversaries.
  This bill also contains provisions affecting Members' districts 
without the support of those Members. These include the permanent ban 
on mineral development on over 1 million acres of public lands in Mr. 
Gosar's district in Northern Arizona, something he strongly opposes.
  Also included, are countless new land designations in Mrs. Boebert's 
and Mr. Lamborn's districts in Colorado--again, without their support.
  The delays in permitting, coupled with the mismanagement of our 
Natural Resources, our forests, and handing this all over to the 
Federal Government for management, is a mistake.
  We need more cooperation with the management of public lands with the 
States and those that live on, in, or around or make their living from 
these lands, Mr. Speaker.

                              {time}  1815

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Idaho (Mr. Fulcher), the ranking member on the Public Lands 
Subcommittee.
  Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Westerman for yielding 
me the time.
  Mr. Speaker, as has been mentioned, this bill would add 1.5 million 
new acres of wilderness area, monument expansion, and scenic rivers. 
That sounds pretty good. Now, here is the rest of the story, and it is 
coming from someone whose home State is two-thirds federally owned.
  This bill also comes with a critical mineral ban on things like 
uranium. China and Russia will thank us for that.
  This bill also comes with a ban on any active land management, which 
is a welcome mat for wildfires. It is simple. If we don't manage, a 
lightning strike will. Now, that is too bad for wildlife, the 
environment, and productive use, but at least we get the privilege of 
spending taxpayer dollars for fire suppression.
  Mr. Speaker, we can't rationalize the contents in this bill to the 
objective American taxpayer, but that is what happens when legislation 
gets rammed through without one markup or adequate bipartisan review.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany).
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to oppose H.R. 803, the western 
wildfire bill.
  Make no mistake, while some seek preservation, what we need is 
management. It always seems like those who seek to preserve, they go to 
the places that are most well managed. These places now will suffer as 
a result of that.
  But I want to emphasize three things that all Americans are going to 
lose with this bill.
  Job security: We have already seen 11,000 jobs jeopardized by the 
abrogation of a contract by President Biden in regard to the Keystone 
XL pipeline.
  Economic security: Lumber prices continue to rise. Taking timber off 
the marketplace is not going to make the cost of building a home any 
cheaper. You want to get kids out of their parents' basement? You are 
not going to do it this way, by raising the price of being able to 
build a home.
  National security: We have become an energy-independent country here 
over the last 10 years, and it has gotten us out of the forever wars in 
the Middle East. This jeopardizes those achievements.
  Job security, economic security, national security are all at stake 
here with this bill.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Colorado (Mrs. Boebert), whose district is more affected by this bill 
than anyone else.
  Mrs. BOEBERT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding. I 
rise today to oppose the latest Democrat land grab, in the form of H.R. 
803.
  This bill, which is actually eight bills piled into one, adds nearly 
1.5 million acres of new wilderness and permanently withdraws 1.2 
million acres from mineral production. Seriously? This is the approach 
we are taking?
  Democrats want to stop mineral production, lock up our lands, and 
depend on our enemies in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and China for our 
energy, all while pretending to be green.
  It is unacceptable to outsource our energy development to countries 
that often use child and slave labor. We literally have children mining 
in Congo with their bare hands to appease these not-in-my-backyard 
extremists.
  Speaking of backyards, Mr. Speaker, the sponsor of title I in this 
bill doesn't have a single acre designated as new wilderness in her 
district, yet title I alone locks up 510,000 acres in my district. The 
Grand Junction Chamber sent me a letter opposing this, stating: These 
are lands that are literally in our backyard in Mesa County, yet 
Congresswoman DeGette continues to ignore us, does not meet with us, 
and does not even consider the consequences of her bill on the 
hardworking families of our district.
  Could anyone here imagine me legislating away any part of Denver or 
Boulder? The Member who authored title I's attack on my district simply 
responds to doubts and concerns by inviting D.C. swampers to my 
district on horseback to look at the pretty views, and then they call 
it a day.
  Dolores County is mentioned several times in this massive land grab. 
The locals, elected officials, and experts have expressed their disdain 
for this bill repeatedly over the years, with no regard from the bill's 
sponsors.
  After the past year of statewide lockdowns, the last thing 
communities in my district need is further restrictions imposed by the 
Federal Government on what they can do on public lands. Mr. Speaker, 
the majority is silencing the people of my district in order to ram 
through a 3 million-acre land grab.
  Have supporters of this legislation considered the disastrous 
wildfires that will result from the new wilderness designation and 
other land grabs in this bill? Wilderness is the most restrictive land 
use designation possible. It prevents active management of our forests, 
which is critical for mitigation against catastrophic wildfires. If we 
don't manage our forests, Mother Nature will continue to manage them 
for us.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, there is quite a lot to respond to. I will 
just respond to a couple of quick points.
  Virtually all the BLM wilderness land that was referenced with 
respect to title I has been managed as wilderness essentially for the 
better part of the last 40 years.
  With respect to wildfires, I would encourage my colleague to read the 
Wilderness Act because section 4(d) of the Wilderness Act says: ``Such 
measures may be taken as may be necessary in the control of fire, 
insects, and diseases.'' That is the law.
  Finally, I have to say, with respect to the reference to constituent 
support, with respect to the CORE Act, the bill that we introduced as 
part of this component bill, Gunnison County, Pitkin County, San Juan 
County, Ouray County, San Miguel County, Eagle County, they all support 
the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I would encourage my colleagues again to follow the lead 
of the folks and the voices at the local level who are imploring us to 
pass this bill. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire how much time is left on 
both sides.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arkansas has 7 minutes 
remaining. The gentleman from Colorado has 1 minute remaining.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Montana (Mr. Rosendale).

[[Page H702]]

  

  Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I rise in opposition to this bill and the precedent it will set for 
public lands, especially in the great State of Montana, where we do 
treasure them. In our State, we take a balanced use approach, where 
conservation and public access go hand in hand. It is a good approach, 
and it is used in other States as well.
  This bill would replace that conversation with a mandate coming out 
of Washington that will unilaterally lock up an area nearly the size of 
Cascade County, Montana. This bill would completely eliminate 
recreation, resource development, and responsible forest management on 
1.5 million acres for an indefinite period of time. A bottom-up, 
balanced approach almost always works better than a top-down, command-
and-control method that the majority is trying to impose on us here.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this bill.
  Mr. NEGUSE. I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Obernolte).
  Mr. OBERNOLTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 803.
  This bill, while well intentioned, will unfortunately result in over 
a million acres being subjected to less efficient forestry management 
services and less fuel reduction. I represent the State of California, 
which, last year, experienced the worst fire season in recorded State 
history. Over 4 million acres of State land was burned last year.
  The year before that, we had the destructive and catastrophic Camp 
Fire that totally destroyed the town of Paradise, almost 100 lives 
lost, almost 20,000 structures destroyed. I had the unfortunate 
experience of walking through that town and witnessing that 
devastation, and it was catastrophic.
  To my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, I have read the 
``Wilderness Management Manual,'' and I direct their attention to the 
BLM manual for the management of wilderness areas that says that 
``fuels reduction is only allowed in very rare circumstances.''
  This will result in more fire damage throughout the Western United 
States. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I might 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, if we adopt the motion to recommit, we will instruct the 
Committee on Natural Resources to consider our cancel the Biden ban 
amendment to H.R. 803.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of the 
amendment in the Record immediately prior to the vote on the motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Arkansas?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. WESTERMAN. The amendment is simple. It will nullify Executive 
Order No. 14008 and Secretarial Order No. 3395 issued during the 
President's first weeks in office.
  The Biden administration wasted no time in imposing their extremist 
environmental agenda. On day one, political appointees created a 
nightmare for our energy operators and a never-ending bottleneck for 
approvals necessary to keep our energy economy running.
  Just a few days later, President Biden halted all new energy 
production on our Federal lands and waters, jeopardizing the 
livelihoods of thousands of Americans in the middle of a pandemic and 
economic crisis.
  The administration has tried to downplay the impact of these actions, 
but we are already feeling the consequences of what I like to call the 
Biden ban. The economic impact of the decisions will be far-reaching, 
impacting thousands of companies, many of which are small businesses. 
Recent studies have concluded that a long-term ban on onshore leasing 
would cost 72,000 jobs annually, and a long-term ban on offshore 
drilling would cost 145,000 jobs.
  Federal energy development represents a sizable portion of State 
budgets. Can we afford to cut off this crucial source of revenue as our 
communities are struggling to recover from the pandemic? Our schools 
need funding to buy PPE that they need to reopen. Yet, the Biden ban 
would disrupt a critical source of revenue that our K-12 schools rely 
on.
  In addition, these actions will bankrupt programs like the Land and 
Water Conservation Fund.
  The ramifications of these actions by the Biden administration will 
be devastating to our rural communities. Americans who work hard every 
day to keep the lights on and our gas prices low deserve better than a 
pink slip from out-of-touch political appointees.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to support this amendment, recommit 
H.R. 803 to the Natural Resources Committee, and put Americans back to 
work.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1830

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, today we heard concerns from our Members, including 
Members most affected by this legislation.
  Tomorrow, we will debate amendments that include 15 new unrelated 
matters to make the total amount of bills in this one bill 23. This 
will make this bill three times worse after we consider amendments.
  I believe we have the responsibility to leave our environment better 
than we found it. We talk about the economy so often that many people 
think that we forget about the environment. That couldn't be further 
from the truth, we all breathe the air and drink the water.
  H.R. 803 would attempt to preserve our resources, locking them up and 
throwing away the key. Congress' focus should be on conservation and 
conserving these resources instead, using them in sustainable, 
responsible ways that every American can enjoy.
  Since we weren't given any opportunity to debate this bill in 
committee, I would like to remind my colleagues that this bill will 
harm the environment; it will kill jobs; it will limit access to 
outdoor recreation; it will hurt State water rights; it will imperil 
our national security and American energy independence; it will impede 
necessary forest management; and make us more reliant on hostile 
foreign nations.
  Mr. Speaker, I strongly urge my colleagues to oppose this 
legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to say thank you again to Chairman Grijalva, and 
to each of my colleagues, Representative DeGette, Representative 
Schiff, Representative Huffman, and all of my fellow Members who we 
heard from today who worked so hard on this important legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I have to repeat this because it is important. Every 
title of this bill was heard in the 116th Congress, I was at those 
hearings. Every title was marked up. I attended those mark-ups with the 
ranking member. Every single title of this bill passed in committee, 
passed on the floor twice, many of them in bipartisan fashion.
  I agree with the ranking member. At the end of the day we have an 
obligation to leave our environment better than when we found it. That 
is what this bill is all about. Protecting the most iconic and 
beautiful places in the United States of America so that my children, 
your children, Mr. Speaker, and the ranking member's children can 
continue to enjoy these incredible places in our country.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope that my colleagues will vote ``yes'' on this 
important legislation and join us in this effort.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Mrvan). All time for debate has expired.
  Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further consideration of H.R. 
803 is postponed.
