Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) today recommended the appointment of Rep. Glenn 'GT' Thompson (R-PA) and Rep. Darin LaHood (R-IL) to serve as outside conferees to the House-Senate Highway Bill Conference Committee. 

“I am proud to recommend Rep. Thompson and Rep. LaHood to represent the Committee on Natural Resources on the highway bill conference committee. These members will advocate for measures to streamline provisions that impact our nation’s precious resources and update infrastructure on both federal and tribal lands as the House and Senate finalize this 6-year legislative package.  I thank Rep. LaHood and Rep. Thompson for representing the Committee and look forward to seeing the finished conference product.”
