From the transcript
This legislation will help federal land managers get projects done more quickly and efficiently while reducing deferred maintenance and restoring access. Once again, I thank Ranking Member Huffman for his partnership on this legislation and the ANS. I'd also like to thank our colleagues in the Senate for engaging in productive negotiations. We look forward to working with them to send this bill to President Trump's desk in time for America's 250th birthday celebrations. I urge everyone to support the ANS and the underlying bill.
