mr. stauber: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 2925, the mining regulatory clarity act of 2024. in may of 2022, the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit affirmed a lower court's decision for an approved mine plan for the rosemont copper mine in arizona. this is current called the rosemont decision and upended regulatory precedent of decades and u.s. forest regulations that allows approval of operation on or off a mining claim as long as these operations meet environmental and regulatory standards. essentially this court's ruling puts the cart before the horse and fails to reflect the process of how a company actually develops a mine. i think there's some confusion about the mine approval process and what the term "valid claim" means. first, when looking to develop a mine, an operator must submit a mine plan of operations to the united states forest service or the bureau of land management. this plan must include the intended uses of the surface of the mining claim including

mr. stauber: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise to offer my amendment that strengthens the underlying legislation to prevent the biden administration from taking further steps to block oil and gas production in the great state of alaska. in the bureau of land management's press release announcing the final npra rule, they teased future action by the administration to create new, quote, special areas, or expand/adjust existing special areas, end quote, within the boundaries of the national petroleum reserve-alaska. these special areas are a means to lock up acreage from oil and gas production. there's no disputing. that my amendment prohibits the department of the interior from creating or expanding special areas without congressional authorization. when the administration announced its moratorium and canceled leases in anwr with -- and withdrew millions of acreage from development within the npra, the local alaska native communities on the north slope weren't given a proper heads up. just like members of the navajo nation he

stauber -- another brother in law enforcement, my good friend from minnesota, mr. stauber. mr. stauber: i would like to thank my colleague if new york, mr. d'esposito, for leading this discussion this evening. i'm proud to stand here on this -- in this hallowed institution in police week to honor my fallen brothers and sisters. i know firsthand the sacrifices law enforcement officers make for the safety and security of our communities. policing is a noble and honorable profession and it can be a dangerous one. however, in the years since i have left the profession, there has been a dramatic increase in violent attacks on law enforcement. in 2023 alone, as previously stated, 378 police officers were shot in the line of duty. the highest number ever recorded. this increase in violence against law enforcement is the direct result of the extreme democrats' disastrous defund the police movement, soft on crime policies, and activist prosecutors that have that have emboldened violent criminals and allowed them to remain free. in my colleague's state of new york we recently lost office

mr. stauber: mr. chair, i want to just rebut my colleague from california. he put up a picture, devastating picture, alleging that republicans would do that to an animal. i utterly reject that type of behavior on the house floor. he knows better. i thank my colleague from colorado for bringing h.r. 764, the trust the science act to the house floor for consideration. this legislation would have an enormous and positive impact on my state of minnesota where the gray wolf populations has more than recovered. the minnesota department of natural resources estimates minnesota's gray wolf population to be roughly around 2,700, which greatly exceeds the endangered species act recovery goal for the state. however, many experts, hunters and farmers, with boots on the ground estimate the real number to be anywhere from 5,000 to 6,000. and the majority of minnesota's gray wolf population resides in the district i represent in northern minnesota. placing the burden directly on the people i represent. in the meetings i have held throughout my district, i am constantly hea

stauber. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. stauber: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise to support h.r. 2925, the bipartisan bicameral mining regulatory clarity act, offered by my good friend from nevada, representative am amodei. i want to thank him. the bill before us is simple, it codifies what is known as the rosemont fix. it restores long-standing interpretation of the mining law of 1872, along with agency regulations governing hardrock mining policy on our federal lands. in may of 2022, the u.s. court of appeals for the ninth circuit upended decades of law when it approved a mine plan for the rosemont copper mine project. the decision limited the ability of the forest service to approve necessary mining support facilities and activity, which is necessary for mining operations. this decision from the ninth circuit put virtually every new domestic mining project in jeopardy. during our legislative hearing earlier this year, an official from the biden administration argued that it won't be necessary to codify the rosemont fix into law simply because of an exist

stauber. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. stauber: mr. speaker, i'm frustrated and angry but also deeply saddened. the law enforcement profession is an honorable one. to have so much compassion for others that you are willing to put your life on the line. it is as we say a call to service and not many hear that call today. if you had asked me a few years ago if my children should become law enforcement officers, i would have undoubtedly said yes. but after these last few years observing the treatment of our law enforcement officers, i would have to think twice about my answer. since 2020 i have watched the law enforcement profession become a punching bag, scapegoated by rabid media pundits more interested in click bait than the facts. villainized by hollywood. and disparaged by city councils, members of this congress, both men and women, even our president. yet all these people expect law enforcement to respond to the calls for service. they expect them to take the verbal assault and show up with a smile on their face ready to serve. the
