WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Representative Tom Reed joined President Donald Trump, Department of Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, and lawmakers from the Senate and House for the signing of the “Great American Outdoors Act”.

Reed co-sponsored the legislation, and the Problem Solvers Caucus, which Reed co-chairs, endorsed the bill in July.

“We care about the preservation and conservation of our country’s natural treasures, landmarks, wildlife, and public lands,” said Representative Tom Reed. “By securing annual funding to eliminate a backlog of maintenance at our national parks and historical sites, this legislation will ensure generations of future Americans will be able to enjoy everything our great nation has to offer. We appreciate the administration’s ongoing leadership on this issue and will continue to fight in a bipartisan manner to protect our environment.”  

"The Great American Outdoors Act is the conservation bill of a generation. ACC's members thank Representative Reed for his leadership and commitment to protecting our nation's parks and public lands," said Quill Robinson, Vice President of Government Affairs, American Conservation Coalition.
