>The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior, and as such, it is accountable to Congress through the Secretary of the Interior. The BLM is required to provide regular reports to Congress on its activities, budget, and performance, as well as to respond to requests for information or testimony from congressional committees. Congress also has the power to authorize and appropriate funds for the BLM's operations and programs, and to conduct oversight and investigations of the agency's activities.

Hit me up when you understand anything kiddo.

When did I ever say that?

Educate yourself.
