Washington, D.C. \u2013 Today, Senate Interior-Environment Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member Jeff Merkley (D-OR) delivered the following remarks at the hearing reviewing the President\u2019s Fiscal Year 2026 budget request for the U.S. Department of the Interior with Secretary Doug Burgum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senator Merkley\u2019s remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThank you, Chair Murkowski, and welcome Secretary Burgum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Secretary, I have to say that I am just…astonished. Astonished by what we have all seen over the past 4 months at the Interior Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComing into this second Trump administration, I feared that the Interior Department would open up more lands to drilling and mining, deepening our addiction to fossil fuels and ignoring the existential threat of climate chaos. And that is exactly what is happening. Despite the U.S. operating at an all-time high for energy production, and more than 19 million leased acres sitting idle \u2013 that\u2019s 46% onshore and 79% offshore unused. Yet the administration lied to the American people and declared a bogus \u2018energy emergency.\u2019 Now, you\u2019re expediting fossil fuel permitting and dropping protections for vast swaths of public land \u2013 while restricting new renewable energy production. You don\u2019t have an \u2018all of the above\u2019 energy policy, you have a \u2018fossil above all\u2019 energy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also feared that a second Trump administration would undermine the Endangered Species Act<\/em> in order to pave the way for industry and other developers to not have to be bothered by protecting species on the brink of extinction or the health of their ecosystems. And, right on time, the Department proposed a change to Endangered Species Act<\/em> regulations declaring that habitat destruction somehow doesn\u2019t count when it comes to harming a species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut Mr. Secretary, what I never expected to see \u2013 not even for a second \u2013 was an administration that would fire, or push out under threat, hundreds of dedicated public lands employees, including firefighters and park rangers, who keep us safe and protect our national treasures. I never expected to see an administration openly propose to offload vast numbers of national park units onto the states, fracturing our treasured system with an eye on profit rather than preserving our collective heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never expected to see an administration so brazenly violate bipartisan Congressional direction by holding back funds for State and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, National Heritage Areas, International Anti-Poaching groups, and Volunteer Trail Groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never ever expected to see an administration that would so callously propose to forsake our treaty and trust responsibilities to sovereign Tribal Nations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn your confirmation hearing, you said how proud you were, as Governor, of the strong partnership you had with Tribes in North Dakota. We don\u2019t have to wonder what they think about your proposal to cut core Tribal programs for road maintenance, public safety, social services, and other vital government services nearly in half, or cut Tribal school construction by 80 percent, in a system with $1 billion in deferred maintenance and dozens of schools in desperate condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA broad coalition of organizations from across Indian Country serving Tribal Nations and Tribal citizens sent you a letter on April 11el<\/sup> calling these cuts \u2018absolutely unacceptable\u2019 and that they \u2018undermine the sacred promises made by the United States to Tribal Nations.\u2019 I\u2019d like to submit that letter<\/a> for the record, Madame Chairman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I never expected to see an administration delay funding for wildfire preparedness, fire red-card employees, or try to end air and smoke monitoring in national parks as we enter into wildfire season. All as we are here on the brink of another fire season. You have left us less prepared. It is truly astonishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSafeguarding endangered species and ecosystems, preserving public lands, supporting Tribal Nations, and protecting against wildfires are fundamental responsibilities of the Department of the Interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the Trump administration, however, it’s clear that absolutely nothing is sacred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, \u2018There is nothing so American as our National Parks\u2026the country belongs to the people.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd the environmentalist and novelist Wallace Stegner said, \u2018National parks are the best idea we ever had.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf creating the National Park System was the best idea we\u2019ve ever had, this Trump administration proposal is the worst. Parks bind us together as a nation \u2013 they are our shared natural wonders, open to all. Parks preserve and show us our shared history, places where we can take pride in what happened there, and places where we can learn how we can better live up to our ideals. Congress created nearly every National Park unit by law not just our \u2018crown jewels\u2019 specifying why each location deserves recognition in our national story. But this administration wants to strip down the National Park System and hand out the parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Secretary, you like to talk about \u2018unleashing America\u2019s balance sheet\u2019 <\/em>with regard to our public lands. But accounting for the value of public land is not as simple as listing capital assets in a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow would you price the value of recharging one\u2019s soul on the rim of the Grand Canyon while you\u2019re calculating the critical mineral value of mining there? How do you measure the value of a 4el<\/sup> Grader gasping in awe at the unspoiled natural wonder of Crater Lake, in Oregon, for the first time? Or of an adult, who watched civil rights marches on TV in the 60s, walking across the Edmund Pettis bridge in Selma, Alabama, reliving the fight for racial equality and remembering Bloody Sunday, 1965? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis administration talks about public lands as if they are transactions and available for freewheeling trade or sale. Resources to exploit for revenue instead of treasures to be celebrated, protected, and passed on to future generations of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Secretary, let me be clear: Our National Park units, our National Wildlife Refuges, and our National Landscape Conservation System belong to the American people<\/em>. Our public lands are not for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, today, I want to dive deeper into this shocking proposal to sell-off America\u2019s treasures, to destroy endangered species and ecosystems, to walk away from our responsibilities to Tribes, to fire dedicated, professional federal workers, and to freeze funding for parks, non-profits, and, most dangerously, wildfire preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI look forward to our discussion. Thank you.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
