The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“NOTICE OF INTENT TO OBJECT TO PROCEEDING” mentioning the Department of Interior was published in the Senate section on pages S5203 on July 30, 2019.
The Department oversees more than 500 million acres of land. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the department has contributed to a growing water crisis and holds many lands which could be better managed.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
NOTICE OF INTENT TO OBJECT TO PROCEEDING
