Expressing disapproval of the withdrawal by the Secretary of the Interior of approximately 225,504 acres of National Forest System lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, Minnesota, from disposition under the United States mineral and geothermal leasing laws.

This concurrent resolution (HCONRES 34) expresses Congress's disapproval of a January 2023 withdrawal by the Secretary of the Interior of approximately 225,504 acres of National Forest lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, Minnesota, from mineral and geothermal leasing. It does not change land status but formally opposes the administrative action under Section 204(c) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. The resolution states Congress does not approve the withdrawal, which would otherwise prevent mineral and geothermal leasing on those lands. As a procedural resolution, it does not alter current land management but signals congressional opposition to the Interior Department's action.
