WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Today, the House Committee on Natural Resources held a markup that included four Republican bills, all of which passed with bipartisan support. Committee Ranking Member Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) issued the following statement:
"While we were unable to come to a compromise on certain legislation in today's markup, I'm grateful for the bipartisan support of our Republican-led bills.

I look forward to seeing these Republican bills pass the House."
