He notes that ?almost two-thirds of Utah is federally managed public land, and of that, the BLM administers more than 22 million acres, or 43 percent of the state." Anderson argues that ?by living and working in Utah, BLM employees will better understand how management decisions affect the land and the locals." He adds that ?moving the bureau to Utah will act as a show of good faith and provide a fresh start for the relationship between the BLM and the people it serves.? Furthermore, ?the move, combined with a renewed rapport, will encourage Utahns and others across the West to fill the job openings allowing Westerners to live where their roots are and manage the public lands they love.?

Trump legal team member Rudy Giuliani said on Fox News? Hannigll ?The Special Counsel would like to interview the President. When you look at those questions about ?what is the President thinking, what does the President feel, what is he really desires' those are all questions intended to tIap him in some way and contradicting what is in fact a very, very solid explanation of what happened. This is an outrageous miscarriage of justice.? Chamberlain) reports on its website that Giuliani called on Mueller to end his probe ?in the interest of justice.? Sen. Richard Blumenthal said on Situation Room In ?There is no way based on my experience as a federal prosecutor and state attorney general that [Mueller] should agree to two or three hours maximum for this interview. It should go as long as is necessary for him to be satis?ed that Donald Trump is answering his questions." Rep. Mike Quigley mend, ?If you're innocent, act like it.

In an emerging story, Rudy Giuliani, a member of President Trump's legal team, said during a wide-ranging interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity that President Trump repaid personal attorney Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment to adult ?lm performer Stormy Daniels. Giuliani said on Fox News' Hannig II that Cohen?s payment to Daniels ?is going to turn out to be perfectly legal. That money was not campaign money. The President repaid it."

The A2 reports that Giuliani?s statement ?directly contradict[ed] the president's past statements. Trump told reporters several weeks ago that he didn't know about the $130,000 payment to Daniels as part of a nondisclosure agreement she signed days before the 2016 presidential election.? Cummings) reports that when Hannity asked about this, Giuliani, ?appearing to backtrack," said, ?He didn't know about the speci?know. But he did not know about the general arrangement that Michael would take care of things like this." The New York Times Shear) also says that Giuliani's statement ?appeared to contradict the president, who has at times said that he was not aware of the payment? to Daniels ?and did not know how his lawyer had gotten the money to pay her. It also conUadicts what Mr. Cohen has been saying for months that he used his own money to pay [Daniels] to keep quiet." The IQELEQSI.

The Lim) reports that Fox News' Laura Ingraham said Giuliani ?may have caused more legal trouble" for Trump with the comment. On her show, which aired immediately following Hannity's, she said, love Rudy, but they better have an explanation for that. That's a problem. It's all about credibility and impeaching somebody's credibility throughout the process. You can see where this is going to go." The Barrett, Bump, Dawsey) reports that Larry Noble of the Campaign Legal Center ?said Giuliani's statements do not end the questions about possible campaign ?nance violations and in fact could point to further concerns.? Noble said, ?What is surprising is that Trump recently said he knew nothing about the payment. Now, Giuliani is trying to get the stories in sync, but this still leaves several potential violations. The timing of the payment is still strong evidence of it being campaign related. And the fact that Trump paid Cohen back strengthens that argument.? The Correll) reports that Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti told Lawrence O'Donnell, am rarely, as your viewers know, rendered speechless. But I am absolutely speechless at this revelation and this admission.? In an interview on Win Colbert) taped before the Giuliani interview, Avenatti said, ?I?m con?dent that we?re going to win the case. And I'm going to stand by what I've said recently, which is I think the President will not serve out his term. It's not about the sex, and it's not about people's right to know what happened as it relates to the intimate relationship. It?s about the public's right to know about the cover-up and the lies and the deceit that has occurred relating to this $130,000 payment." Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) tweeted, ?Giuliani Scaramucci. Not long for team Trump". Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee tweeted, ?Rudy's admission raises question whether these payments constitute an illegal ?Structuring' of transactions to evade reporting laws in violation of 31 USC {55324, the same violation committed by former House Speaker Hastert." Philip Rucker of the Washington Post tweeted, ?White House press shop is referring questions about Giuliani?s revelation that Trump repaid Cohen for Stormy Daniels hush money to the president?s outside happens to be Giuliani." Preet Bharara Nested, ?From a purely legal and PR competency perspective, Trump should ?re Giuliani long before Sessions, Rosenstein, McGahn, Mueller". CNN's Harry Enten tweeted, ?This Giuliani interview has got to be one of the worst interviews given by someone connected to and I don't say that cause there have been a lot of objectively bad ones." Amanda Terkel of the Huf?ngton Post tweeted ?Giuliani is the guy who went on Fox in January 2017 and admitted (oops!) that Trump's exec order was indeed a backdoor Muslim ban. So this is all pretty predictable." Bantam Olorunnipa). and the W121: also cover Giuliani's remarks. Administration To Roll Out Recision Package.

Less optimistic is the AB report, which highlights the fact that ?small business hiring picked up moderately last month as owners held to their strategy of cautiously adding to their payrolls.? The AP adds that ADP ?counted 62,000 new jobs at its customers with up to 49 employees." Fed Leaves Rates Unchanged. USA Today Davidson) reports the Fed ?held its key interest rate steady Wednesday but noted that in?ation has climbed close to its 2% goal, paving the way for another rate hike in June.?

Until President Trump did, opening another ugly chapter in his anti-immigration crusade." With his ?barrage of tweets," Trump ?transformed about 1,200 people on the northward trek into a dangerous horde bent on ?ooding the United States and con?rming the need for that big wall that is his obsession.? To the Times, ?the vetting of the caravan, in fact, shows that the immigration laws are quite strict, and that they work," and ?that Mr. Trump says otherwise shows he opportunity to fan the ?ames of bigotry.? ?Let Abbas?s Vile Words Be His Last As Palestinian Leader. The New York Times in an editorial says that Abbas ?shed all credibility as a trustworthy partner." The Times also says he is guilty of ?overstaying his term by many years.?

The editorializes that the recent disclosure that portions of Pruitt?s trip to Morocco last December ?were arranged by a former Comcast lobbyist who had become close to the administrator and who shortly thereafter registered as an agent for the Moroccan government" underscores his ?habit of wasting taxpayer money on private indulgences." The Post writes that Pruitt ?has crammed a lifetime's worth of ethical failings into less than a year and a half in of?ce.

The Post argues the only reason to refuse is if the League is ?not really serious when it says its commitment to a fair and respectful work environment includes the women who cheer on the sidelines.? The Post concludes that cheerleaders ?shouldn't be treated like second? class citizens exploited," and that the plaintiffs' willingness to forego ?monetary awards to tell their stories in the hope of bringing about change should convince Mr. Goodell that, at the very least, he needs to listen." ?Mr. Netanyahu?s Inconclusive Case. The Washington Post editorializes in favor of the US remaining in the agreement with Iran, arguing that the case made by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, did not succeed in justifying withdrawal.

Ty Cobb, who's the main man dealing with the special counsel for all this time, decided, ?That's it, I'm retiring.? And the guy stepping in for him is best-known for being one of Bill Clinton?s impeachment lawyers. His name is Emmet Flood. When your lawyer is named after a natural disaster, you know you're in good hands." Jimmy Kimmel: “Ty Cobb is now out. And Emmet Flood is in. At this point, there are more Trump lawyers than there are Avengers.” Jimmy Kimmel: “Dennis Rodman’s friend, Kim Jong-un, is experiencing unprecedented popularity right now after he hugged it out with the President of South Korea last week. According to a new poll, 78 percent of South Koreans say they trust Kim Jong-un. Seventy-eight percent. A month and a half ago, his approval rating in South Korea was 10 percent. Now it’s 78 percent. See, this is what happens when you poll people who have missiles pointed directly at their homes. Don’t anyone tell Donald Trump about that.” Stephen Colbert: [On Trump dictating Dr. Harold Bornstein’s letter on the President’s health] “I guess that explains these other doctors’ notes, like this one from Trump’s dentist: ‘Most teeth ever. Much longer tongue than Obama.’ And his podiatrist report: ‘Feet of a god, unless there’s a draft, in which case, bone spurs. Sad.’” Stephen Colbert: “Why would the Trump team purposely leak their own questions, you question? Well, apparently, Trump now plans to point to the list as evidence that Mueller has strayed beyond his mandate and is over-reaching. ‘Look, this Mueller guy, if he’s going to ask me even half of the things my lawyers totally made up, he’s gotta go.’” Stephen Colbert: “Trump has already found a replacement for Cobb-- famed attorney and dehydrated Clark Kent, Emmet T. Flood. If you recognize the name of Emmet T. Flood, it’s because he represented Bill Clinton during his impeachment proceedings. ‘The crooked Clintons are the most corrupt people in the world. Get me their lawyer, all right, stat. Have him washed and brought to my tent.’” James Corden: “Just months after President Trump promised to send astronauts back to the moon, NASA has stopped working on its moon rover project. Now when they head to the moon, the astronauts’ plan is to just have a friend pick them up when they land.” James Corden: “You’ve got to feel bad for him – Trump keeps throwing out this idea and everyone just looks confused. The next time he brings this up, he’ll be like, ‘I’ve got brand-new idea. We start a Space Force and the guy leading it will be called Star Lord and there will be a little raccoon, and a tree man--’ ‘Sir, I think you’re describing “Guardians of the Galaxy.”’ ‘Great, but let’s call it Space Force.’” James Corden: “And this was an alarming story: According to a new government report, a common weed killer that’s been linked to disease has turned up in nearly every common food in the United States. Yeah, that was my reaction too. On the bright side, scientists say the harmful chemicals from our food are usually killed off by the even more harmful radioactive waves shooting out of our phones.” Trevor Noah: [On French President Emmanuel Macron’s comment about the Australian Prime Minister’s wife] “Back off, Pepe Le Pew! That’s someone’s wife. You know, it would have been cool if the Australian Prime Minister thought it was some sort of custom and rolled with it. If he was like, ‘Thank you President Macron. Yeah, your wife is quite shaggable as well.’ ... Apparently, this was caused by a little translation issue, because, apparently, the French word for ‘delicious’ also means ‘delightful.’” Trevor Noah: “I was worried that when Macron came to the US, instead of him rubbing off on Trump, it was Trump that was rubbing off on him. Like, they held hands and suddenly Macron was like, ‘Madame and monsieur, we wil make France great again. Who is going to pay for it? Belgium! Belgium! Delicious.’” Trevor Noah: [On Trump dictating Dr. Bornstein’s letter on the President’s health] “This is the least surprise reveal ever. It’s like if at the end of the ‘Sixth Sense’ they were like ‘and Bruce Willis was alive the whole time!’” Trevor Noah: “No, Kanye, slavery is not a choice. Going blond is a choice. Both are terrible, but one is easier to undo. Although, actually, you know, when I think about it, slavery was a choice – for white people. Yeah. White people were like, ‘Hey, should we keep doing stuff ourselves or make other people do it for us? Hmmm. Yeah, other people. Yeah, that sounds good. That sounds good. Good choice.’” Jimmy Fallon: “It was so hot President Trump’s lawyers spent the day fanning himself with hush money.” Jimmy Fallon: “Speaking of the President, his doctor wrote a letter calling Trump the healthiest President ever. But now the doctor is saying Trump dictated the letter himself. Trump was like, ‘Yes, I dictated it, and I am one of the healthiest dictators ever elected.’” Jimmy Fallon: “In the letter, Trump said that his physical strength is extraordinary. ... Then he used two hands to drink a tiny glass of water.” Jimmy Fallon: “Later, Trump was asked why he has such a bad doctor, and he said, ‘Because I’m on the Republican healthcare plan.’” Jimmy Fallon: “The Russia investigation is heating up. I saw that if Trump’s lawyers don’t agree to a sit-down interview with Mueller, he'll issue a subpoena. Trump was like, ?No problem, I love Subpoena. She's my favorite teenage witch.? Seth Meyers: source has told Axios that President Trump is triggered by the leaks about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, and his instinct is always to be on the offensive. So yeah, real good time to meet with the leader of North Korea." Seth Meyers: ?President Trump tweeted today, quote, ?there was no collusion, it is a hoax, and there is no obstruction of justice. That is a setup and trap.? But it's not Trump?s fault he tweeted that - it's just what his iPhone auto-corrects to when he types ?hello."' Seth Meyers: ?White House Special Counsel Ty Cobb will reportedly be leaving President Trump?s legal team at the end of the month. Which is weird, because to look at him, I would have thought he left 105 years ago.? Seth Meyers: ?President Trump said yesterday he is seriously thinking of creating a sixth branch of the military called ?the Space Force.? The space force is also what he calls his greeting style." Seth Meyers: ?President Trump wants to create a sixth branch of the military called ?the Space Force.? They'll patrol the distant reaches between him and Melania.? Seth Meyers: ?After facing backlash for saying slavery was a choice, Kanye West defended himself last night and tweeted a quote attributed to Harriet Tubman, which has been proven to be fake. But we already knew that." Conan O?Brien: ?Kanye West is under ?re for an interview with TMZ where he described slavery as a choice. Said slavery is a choice. Yeah. It's never a good sign when the moral high ground in a room is held by the people of Conan O?Brien: group of House Republicans has nominated President Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize. Yeah. As evidence, they pointed out that Trump has managed to avoid an all?out war with North Korea and Melania." Conan O?Brien: ?Some critics are now saying that NASA will be unable to use SpaceX's rocket because it?s too small. Yeah. However, SpaceX insists that?s just the cold weather." Jordan Klepper: ?[West Virginia Senate seat candidate Don] Blankenship is such an outsider that he spent 12 months a prison. Because maybe he conspired to willfully violate safety standards at a mine he owned that maybe led to an explosion that de?nitely killed 29 people. But it wasn?t his fault! Unless you believe the several investigations that took place. But who does? I trust an investigation as far as I can obstruct it." Jordan Klepper: ?I've said it before and I'll say it again: The most persecuted group in America is Trump supporters. Followed closely by people who say ?Barnes and Nobles' instead of ?Barnes and Noble.? Jordan Klepper: ?Supporting President Trump is not a religion? Uh, want to bet? We follow an all? powerful being, expect him to do the impossible, and ignore all empirical evidence. Plus, every Sunday we study his divine words to try and ?gure out who he might ?re next. Sure sounds like a religion to me." Samantha Bee: [0n Michelle Wolf] ?Calling [White House Press Secretary Sarah] Sanders a liar isn?t an insult; it?s her job description. Feminism doesn?t mean you can never make jokes about another woman ever.? Samantha Bee: [On Sarah Sanders] ?All press secretaries lie. But Sarah Huckabee Sanders' lies are more like a Jedi mind trick. She is smart. She?s savvy, and she has an eerie ability to make towering falsehoods unwatchably dull. She's like a public relations dementor. Sucking the energy out of the White House press until they can't really ?ght back, turning them into tragic journalistic husks called Maggie Habermans.?

The Forest Service now attaches the 2012 stips to any approval for exploration in a new area, be it under a prospecting permit or be it under a lease plan of operations amendment approval for the same exploration activities in a new area on the leasehold.

Ryan and I both read the questions and just spoke to discuss what we think would be the best approach to answer them. We can draft answers to questions 68 and 69 regarding the consideration of economic and surface impacts. These answers will reference the currently on-going Forest Service NEPA review for the mineral withdrawal, as well as the future NEPA review the BLM would conduct before mining could occur in the area in question. However, questions 65, 66, and 67 are questions of pure policy. We would recommend that someone in BLM draft the answers to these questions. Perhaps Bev or someone else in 600 could draft these answers and you could have a policy person in BLM 100 review the answers? Also, do you know if these questions also went to the Department? 067 in particular focuses on the Secretary's knowledge of and opinion on sul?de-ore mining. You may want to loop in someone from the Of?ce of the Secretary for this answer. Perhaps Bev (or another in 600) could work with her/his counterpart in OS Comms to answer Q67. I've copied Bev on this email. Ryan and are available to discuss if you would like to have a call on this. We are free until 4:30 ET, or between 5-6 ET. Let us know if you'd like to talk.
