Over one million acres of land outside of Grand Canyon National Park, which contain the largest uranium deposit in the United States, will be locked up to prevent resource development and livestock grazing. As Chairman of the Western Caucus, I will continue to fight for the multiple use mandate and against unelected bureaucrats who are actively shutting down our public lands.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
