Liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable
Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Act
The bill mobilizes substantial non-federal and state investment and clarifies governance to enable a presidential library while shifting ongoing operational responsibility to non-federal parties, exposing taxpayers to up to $50M in start-up grants and concentrating oversight in the Department of the Interior.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park Wild Horses Protection Act
The bill preserves a large, genetically diverse horse herd and increases monitoring transparency and planning, but does so at the cost of higher management expense and reduced flexibility—raising risks to park budgets and native ecosystems if the mandated herd or plan prove problematic.
North Dakota Trust Lands Completion Act of 2026
The bill streamlines and clarifies how North Dakota state land grants and certain federal parcels can be transferred or swapped—reducing title uncertainty and protecting tribal and conservation lands—at the cost of narrower land availability, potential delays and added compliance/administrative burdens, and new tensions between development and conservation interests.
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan".
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 840 Front Street in Casselton, North Dakota, as the Commander Delbert Austin Olson Post Office.
The bill honors Commander Olson and standardizes the post office's name in federal records, delivering local recognition and clearer documentation while imposing only modest, short-term administrative costs on the Postal Service.
Promoting Cross-border Energy Infrastructure Act
The bill speeds and clarifies approval for cross‑border energy projects—reducing delays and investor uncertainty and potentially improving grid reliability—while trading off environmental review time, state/local oversight, and leaving taxpayers exposed to risks and costs from problems missed during expedited reviews.
Designating November 22, 2025, as National Adoption Day and November 2025 as National Adoption Month to promote national awareness of adoption and the children awaiting families, celebrating children and families involved in adoption, and encouraging the people of the United States to secure safety, permanency, and well-being for all children.
The resolution increases visibility and may encourage adoptions from foster care but provides no new funding or programs, leaving systemic problems unchanged and risking unmet expectations.
Designating November 1, 2025, as "National Bison Day".
The resolution raises the profile of bison conservation and recognizes tribal cultural and economic roles—potentially benefiting restoration, partnerships, and local economies—but does so without allocating new funding or mandates, creating expectations and management burdens for tribes and public land managers.
Designating October 26, 2025, as the "Day of the Deployed".
The bill establishes an annual, no-cost 'Day of the Deployed' to publicly recognize deployed service members and their families, but it is purely symbolic and does not provide funding or new benefits, risking raised expectations without concrete assistance.
Congratulating the North Dakota State University Bison football team for winning the 2024 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Football Championship Subdivision title.
The resolution provides symbolic national recognition and morale benefits for NDSU and its community but makes no policy or funding changes, representing a ceremonial use of congressional time.
