From the transcript
That's why it's fitting today the committee is meeting to consider H.R. 9250, Legislation that will reauthorize the Great American Outdoors Act's Legacy Restoration Fund for an additional 5 years, renewing one of President Trump's signature conservation achievements from his first term. In partnership with Ranking Member Huffman, we have come together on this historic legislation with the support of 140 bipartisan co-sponsors, 70 Republicans and 70 Democrats, and more than 140 organizations. The process began last Congress when the committee held oversight hearings to examine the implementation of GAOA. In this Congress, the committee traveled to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and to Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas to see the LRF's investments firsthand and to hear from local stakeholders about ideas to improve the program for the future.
