I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense bill and help restore responsible stewardship to America’s forests before more communities are lost to catastrophic wildfire.
Support the Action Versus No Action Act to streamline environmental reviews for certain hazardous fuels reduction and forest management projects by focusing review on the proposed action and the no-action alternative.

Assessments
This was an action commitment to support and urge passage of the Action Versus No Action Act, not a verified promise that the bill would become law. Verified evidence shows McClintock introduced H.R. 184, the bill text matches the promised two-alternative environmental review structure, he offered an amendment, and he voted in committee for favorable reporting. Those are material support actions in the same congressional term. Enactment is not proven, but enactment was not the specific promised outcome here.
