Ryan Zinke led efforts to strike a provision in the 1,100 page domestic policy and tax cut bill that would have allowed sale of about 500,000 acres of public lands in Utah and Nevada. The amendment was removed in the House Rules Committee and the bill passed 215-214 amid Democratic opposition and a couple of Republican defections.
