The Great American Outdoors Act is the biggest boost to our national parks in 50 years. Over the next five years, this law will help to fix roads, campsites and hiking trails so Americans can enjoy them for generations to come. https://t.co/uZo6wpEDpW QT @SenAlexander: This week President @realDonaldTrump signed into law the Great American @OutdoorsAct.

That’s why I am glad Congress passed the President @realDonaldTrump signed into law the Great American @OutdoorsAct, which will #RestoreOurParks by cutting in half our parks’ $12 billion deferred maintenance backlog, including in the @GreatSmokyNPS, and fully funds the #LWCF.

Marching along with the parade were Sen. @MarkWarner, @SenAngusKing and @senrobportman, who worked with @NPCA, @nature_org, @NWF, @HunterandAngler, @GoParks and others to introduce the #RestoreOurParks Act to reduce the maintenance backlog in our parks.

The grand finale of this parade was the support of President @realDonaldTrump. There were many important marchers in this parade, but this historic conservation legislation would not have happened if it were not for the leadership of President Trump.

Senators @SenBurr, @SenatorCantwell and @Sen_JoeManchin led the way on the Land and Water Conservation Fund. #LWCF And, @SenatorCollins and Sen. @MartinHeinrich support made this a wholly bipartisan bill.

I voted to begin debate on @SenatorTimScott’s JUSTICE Act because it will make police officers more accountable, encourage departments to ban chokeholds and adopt best practices, provide better training to police officers, and make lynching a federal crime.

Everyone I know wants this to happen as quickly as we responsibly can, and I welcome the opportunity to help in this way.

I was glad to be appointed to President @realDonalTrump’s Economic Recovery Initiative. The way to contain this disease and get back to work and back to school is to put politics aside and work together as fast as we can on new tests, new treatments, and new vaccines.

My thoughts are with all of those in the Chattanooga-area who have been impacted by last night’s severe storms. These are challenging times, but Tennesseans are resilient, and I know the ‘Volunteer spirit’ will be of full display as we all help this community rebuild and recover.

The partnership between the University of Maine and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is a model for how science and technology can help Americans prosper in the new economy.

Using Maine forest products for 3-D printing is a great way to create new jobs in Maine and a good reminder that national laboratories are our secret weapons in helping the United States stay competitive in the rapidly changing world economy.
