Greg Walden (R-Hood River) released the following statement after President Trump signed an executive order directing a review of national monument designations declared under the Antiquities Act since 1996:\n\"Today\u2019s action sends a clear signal to communities throughout the West \u2013 including in Oregon \u2013 that this administration is serious about taking a new approach to the management of our federal lands. In Oregon we\u2019ve watched the problems left behind in the wake of national monument designations that lock up land without meaningful public input. A review of the Antiquities Act is long overdue. I\u2019m pleased that President Trump has finally ordered one. Farmers, ranchers, and local residents in Oregon have been ignored for too long by presidents who lock up the land without local consultations. This executive order is a refreshing sign that their concerns are being taken seriously.\u00a0\n\"Now, Congress needs to take action\u00a0to reform the Antiquities Act. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve also introduced the Public Input for National Monument Act, to require these designations to go through the public National Environmental Policy Act process like all other land management decisions. \u00a0I will continue to work with the Trump Administration to rebuild public trust in federal land management policies. Today\u2019s action will assist in that effort.\u201d\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://walden.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/greg-walden-statement-president-trump-s-executive-order-regarding"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9248019196093082, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
