Washington, D.C. - Congressman Tom McClintock issued the following statement on the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein: "Dianne Feinstein was a titan of the Senate and her passing is an incalculable loss to California, the Senate, and the country. Though we disagreed on much, I always found her approachable, reasonable and sincere. She was instrumental in advancing desperately needed forest management reforms, even when it meant bucking strident voices on the left. Her presence will be keenly missed, but her example will live on."

Washington, D.C. – H.R. 934 by Rep. Tom McClintock passed the House Natural Resources Committee today by a voice vote. The legislation requires the U.S. Forest Service to aggressively attack fires when they are first detected in forests that pose a severe fire hazard. McClintock first introduced this legislation after the disastrous Tamarack fire that was allowed to burn for 12 days before it exploded out of control and destroyed 70,000 acres of forestland in Alpine County in 2021. “It is dangerous nonsense to “monitor” incipient fires in today’s forest tinderbox, even if they seem to pose no immediate danger,” McClintock told the committee. “No person in his right mind would “monitor” a rattlesnake curled up in his bedroom because it isn’t doing much of anything. He would kill it before it does.”
