The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from georgia is recognized for as much time as he may consume. From california. Im sorry. Mr. Mccarthy thank you. I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the tule river indian tribe are constituents of mine and i believe they have a right to selfgovernance and local control. The speaker pro tempore the house will be in order. He house will be in order. The gentleman may proceed. Mr. Mccarthy this bill is about putting some unused federal land in trust for the treeb. Fundamentally, its about giving the people who actually live in a place more control over that land. This is a good, practical rule of thumb when it comes to governance. People at the local level govern themselves best. That is definitely the case when it comes to native american tribes. My principle is that Indian Tribes will use their land better than a distant federal government and we should let them. Todays legislation transfers a relatively small piece of land only about 34 acres, but it will allow the tule river tribe to unify their property, giving them the freedom to live as they choose, and that freedom has more value than any amount of acreage. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back. Mr. Hice i reserve. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves. Mr. Costa i yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Costa the members of the t umbing le river tribe are descendants of the original inhas been fants of the territory along the creeks from the Sierra Nevada mountains in South Central california. Like many other tribes in california and around the country, the tule river people have suffered many injustices and inequities over the years, including forced removal and relocation of the tribes reservation which they resided in for 140 years. H. R. 4685 and mr. Mccarthy will add to that land base by deeming that approximately 34 acres of bureau of Land Management be held in trust for the tribe. Its a small amount of acreage in the bigger picture. This land is situated between the tribal land and the reservation land near the only entrance to the reservation. And its entirely cut off from federal lands in the vicinity. Mr. Speaker, this is very small amount of land, as i said. But as the vice chairman of the tribe stated in testimony before the committee, every acre of land is important to the tule river people. I want to commend the sponsor of the bill, majority leader mccarthy, for bringing this legislation to the floor. It passed by unanimous consent. I urge quick adoption and i yield back the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back. The gentleman from georgia, mr. Hice, is recognized. Mr. Hice i would just like to commend my colleague, the majority leader, kevin mccarthy, for his work on this important piece of legislation and i urge my colleagues to support h. R. 4685 and i yield back the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the entleman yields back his time. The question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h. R. 4685. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair, 2 3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended this ebill is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. For what purpose does the gentleman from georgia seek recognition . Mr. Hice i move to suspend the rules and pass h. R. 4844 3844 as amended. The speaker pro tempore without objection. The clerk will report the title of the bill. The clerk h. R. 3844, a bill to establish the energy and Minerals Reclamation Foundation to encourage, obtain, and use devices and requests for projects to reclaim abandoned mineland and orphaned oil and gas well sites and for other purposes. The speaker pro tempore pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from georgia, mr. Hice, and the gentleman from california, mr. Costa, each will ontrol 20 minutes. The chair recognizes the gentleman from georgia. Mr. Hice i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the bill under consideration. The speaker pro tempore without objection. Mr. Hice i yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Hice im proud to be the author of h. R. 3845, the bureau of Land Management foundation act. This legislation is one part of the Natural Resources committees response to the complex technical, legal, educational and fund related funding related challenges for abandoned mine lands, also referred to as a. M. L. As well as orphaned oil and gas sites across the country. These issues were highlighted last year with the e. P. A. s gold king and Standard Mine spills in colorados animus river. Im happy to present this piece of legislation as part of a comprehensive response to the gold king spill and glad that it comes one year, less than one year from the anniversary of that disaster. I hope the other bills, h. R. 3734, offered by the gentleman from nevada, mr. Hardy, and h. R. 3843, authored by the energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee chairman lamb born, will also be considered by the house soon. H. R. 3844 seeks to address part of the funding related challenge for abandoned mine lands and orphaned oil and gas well sites by creating a foundation. Based on other successful models, for the National Park system, the u. S. Fish and wildlife service, the u. S. Forest service this foundation would solicit private contributions to remediate sites that were abandoned prior to the enactment of the Surface Mining control and reclamation act of 1977 and the implementation of the bureau of Land Managements mining regulation of january 1, 1981. Mr. Speaker, i want to take a moment to thank the Ranking Member of the energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee, mr. Lowenthal, of california, for his willingness to work in a bipartisan manner to help sharpen the focus of the foundation while also allowing the foundation to solicit private donations to help aid the Broader Mission of the bureau of Land Management. I strongly believe that this bill represents our collective ability to work in a bipartisan manner at a time when many people say we cant do so. So i thank the gentleman very much for your cooperation and input. In addition to reclamation of mines and wells, the foundation would also supplement educational, technical, scientific, and other assistance or activities that support the management of wild, freeroaming horses and burrows, fish and wildlife and and burros, fish and wildlife and their habitats, conservation lands, recreation resources and cultural and historic resources. Those individuals who donate to the foundation will be able to direct how theyd like their money to be used and any general donations would be divided equally amongst the two airs areas of the foundation. This in turn grows the pie and the slice that will go toward fixing legacy mine sites. Im pleased that the end product of our bipartisan work will greatly involve the private sector in ways that will help us prevent future events like the e. P. A. Spill in colorado. I urge my colleagues to support h. R. 3844 and i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves. The gentleman from california, mr. Lowenthal, is recognized. Mr. Lowenthal thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Lowenthal h. R. 3844 is a bipartisan bill that im proud to have worked cooperatively on with mr. Hice and the Natural Resources committee. This h. R. 3844 would establish a Charitable Foundation to support the mission and activities of the bureau of Land Management. Congress has chartered a number of similar foundations to serve as partners to our Land Management agencies including the National Park foundation, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the National Forest foundation. By establishing a bureau of Land Management foundation, h. R. 3844 will provide the b. L. M. With an important partner and allow private individuals and corporations to support the bureaus diverse mission, which includes activities such as managing wild horses, protecting cultural resources, and cleaning up abandoned mines. Again, i join with my colleague and id like to commend my colleague, mr. Hice, and the committee, for working with me to get to so that we together can put together this final bipartisan language adopted in the Natural Resources committee and that were voting on. The establishment of a bureau of Land Management foundation is long overdue and i urge my colleagues to support thisres. This legislation and i yield the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back. The gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Hice thank you, mr. Speaker. Again, i want to say a huge thank you to the Ranking Member for your willingness to work with us, its been an honor to work with you. Im pleased with this end product. And i urge the support of our colleagues and the passage of h. R. 3844 and i yield back the balance of my time
