This leaves me a bit confused.
I did a search on this act and was more than a little surprised by what I did not find. I did not find this reported by any of the major sources---only local news outlets. I also did a search on the WSJ and the NYT--nothing.
I also get the fact (and not to demean trump) that a veto of this bill would have been a political problem and most likely been overturned when it went back to Congress.
The bigger conundrum to me is that (and it maybe my own misunderstanding) much of what I regard as trump's base (the Bundy klans of the world) are strongly opposed to government "set asides" as is the case with this non-partisan bill, and I find no loud outcry.
What am I missing?

I found the bill Ben---but thank you in any case. The what I didn't find was much being said about it in the media--and I have to ask why?

I disagree, Fox, dimbart et al offer a formidable counter.
The federal government already owns 1/3 of the West. That’s not enough?
