The Administration’s move to downsize Gold Butte National Monument is a direct attack on the Antiquities Act, and I will continue to fight this reckless decision.” BACKGROUND: This summer, Congresswoman Rosen introduced an amendment to the Interior appropriations bill to prevent the downsizing of Gold Butte, which Republicans blocked from floor consideration. In July, the Congresswoman sent a letter to Secretary Zinke urging him to reconsider any decision to take the legally dubious step of shrinking Gold Butte and Basin and Range.
