The Executive has requested Congress to delegate powers to legislate on a wide variety of matters. Although the request has been made in general terms, the statement of reasons reveals the underlying objectives and raises alarms about possible impacts on the environment, natural resources, and the rights of indigenous peoples. The text of the bill cannot be read in isolation. It is the statement of reasons that explains what the Executive really intends to legislate with each power it requests, and it is what will later serve as a reference to verify whether the legislative decrees remained within what Congress authorized.
