Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 1925, America's Red Rock Wilderness Act. I truly appreciate hearing from you, and I am working hard to stand up for New Hampshire's interests in Congress.
I understand your concern about this bill restricting access to lands in Utah from motorized vehicle use. America's Red Rock Wilderness Act would designate certain undeveloped areas of land in the State of Utah under the National Wilderness Preservation System.
While protecting our environment is critical to our public health and to future generations, restricting land use must not unnecessarily prevent Americans from responsible recreation and enjoying the great outdoors.
H.R. 1925 has been referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. Although I am not a member of this committee, please know that I will keep your views in mind should this legislation come to the House floor for a vote.
I encourage you to continue to contact me about the issues that are important to you. Please feel free to visit my website at

Sincerely,
Paul Hodes
Member of Congress
