Chairman Jeff Bingaman: “The Senate took another big step forward today in favor of moving the public lands bill. This puts us on track to have a vote on final passage tomorrow. Because of the many years of efforts by individual sponsors, and because of the years of work by local concerned citizens, this bipartisan bill will ensure the protection of important parts of our nation’s natural, cultural and historical legacy, while staying consistent with sound national energy policy.”
