December 2, 2024 — The House Natural Resources Committee is planning a trio of hearings this week as it ramps up its activity following the extended recess during the government shutdown.
The Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, headed by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), will hold a hearing titled “Unleashing American Energy Dominance and Exploring New Frontiers.” It’s the latest in a string of hearings focused on the new administration’s pro-development energy posture.
The Water, Wildlife and Fisheries Subcommittee, led by Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.), will question witnesses on sea lions eating salmon in the Pacific Northwest. Congress approved legislation in 2018 making it easier for states and tribes to kill sea lion that congregate near dams and other areas to eat the salmon.
