Mike Enzi, United States Senator for Wyoming

Thank you to my readers
and constituents -

As my time in the U.S. Senate comes to a close,
this will be the last newsletter I send out. I want to thank you for
following along over the years.

During my life I've followed my Mom's
advice, my core values: Do what's right. Do your best. Treat others as
they want to be treated. I can't do the kind of job Diana and I have
been doing for another six year term. I was able to see my kids grow up
before I went in the Senate. Now I want some grandkid time. I will
continue to be the Workhorse for Wyoming that you expect me to be
through these next couple of months.

My biggest job, as it turns out, is to
solve individual problems people are having with the Federal
government. My staff in Wyoming and I have worked some 14,000 of those
problems for Wyoming people.

I got Wyoming's Abandoned Mine Land money that
had been accumulating for years finally turned loose for Wyoming
projects...and then worked with the delegation to protect it.

I got to
take a lead on the bill that is ending the AIDS epidemic in Africa that
has led to ways that are saving lives in America.

I was able to get
Career and Technical Education passed unanimously to allow more people
to learn skills where they use their hands.

I've gotten to Chair the
Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee - a big bite of the
apple. I chair the Budget Committee and live the debt problem.

I also do
several things not in my job description that I think are helpful -
like the Inventors conference. I also started a procurement conference
that brings Wyoming businesses together with people from the federal
government who are looking to buy goods and services that are better or
less expensive. I do Wyoming Works tours that take me into businesses
that are new to me and may be unheard of even in Wyoming.

There is
still plenty of work to be done before the end of the year. The Senate
will be considering a Supreme Court nominee. I look forward to
reviewing Amy Coney Barrett's qualifications and record to ensure that she
demonstrates a clear commitment to the rule of law and is fit to serve on
the Supreme Court.

I also have a number of legislative priorities
that I will work to finalize in the coming months, including important
health care and budget initiatives.

My deepest thanks and appreciation
to the people of Wyoming for the honor and privilege that you have
given to represent you in so many different ways.

access in rural areas *

At a Senate health committee hearing to get
an update from federal officials in charge of the official response to
COVID-19, U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., asked about possible
problems accessing a vaccine in rural areas like Wyoming.

Enzi noted that
some of the vaccines in Phase III testing need to be stored at
temperatures as low as negative 94 degrees Fahrenheit. He said many facilities
do not have the specialized freezers necessary to store the vaccine,
especially in cash-strapped or rural areas.

Enzi: Wyoming's new authority to regulate CO2 storage will
help advance carbon capture projects
*

Enzi
applauded the
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) final approval of Wyoming's request to
have primary enforcement authority over Class VI underground injection
wells, which are used for storing carbon dioxide (CO2).

"As a leader
in the energy industry, Wyoming has the know-how to manage its own
program that will provide for the future of clean coal, such as carbon
capture and sequestration, Enzi said. "I applaud the EPA for cementing
this new rule granting Wyoming this important authority. Investments
made to advance new coal technologies allows for more affordable energy
options for Americans - and allows Wyoming to continue being a leader
in fueling the nation."

Enzi:
Eliminating duplication and overlap in federal housing programs can help
families
*

During a roundtable to examine federal housing
assistance programs, Enzi said the federal government's current approach to
housing assistance is falling short and that Congress should initiate
a review and take steps to improve this system. The U.S. Government
Accountability Office found housing assistance is fragmented across 160
programs and activities, with significant areas of duplication and
overlap.

"With programs scattered across multiple federal agencies, the
system leads to overlap and waste and actually limits resources that
should be going to those in need," Enzi said. "We should undertake a
serious, bipartisan review to find improvements to the system, and
identify solutions and gather ideas about reform. This will allow these
programs to work better for those who truly need them."

Enzi introduced a bipartisan bill to honor
former Thermopolis Postmaster Robert Brown by renaming the local post
office after him. Brown, a lifelong resident of Thermopolis, passed
away earlier this month at age 94.

Brown's career with the U.S. Postal
Service spanned 44 years, including 18 years as the postmaster. Brown
and his wife, Jerry - who was Enzi's first Sunday School teacher - are
the parents of Barrasso's wife, Bobbi.
