The following press release was published by the House Committee on Natural Resources on June 4, 2019. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Ranking Republican Rob Bishop (R-Utah) released the following statement on the Trump administration’s strategy to confront U.S. reliance on critical mineral imports.

"Our over-reliance on foreign nations for critical minerals has reached a fever pitch. The directives in this new report are absolute no-brainers. There is zero wisdom in relying so heavily on the goodwill of our would-be adversaries. The status quo has put our national security and economy at peril’s doorstep. The Trump administration’s new strategy not only puts us back on a path to self-reliance, but it cuts down bureaucracy, and creates American jobs."
