I just wanted to say, Senator, and ask you if you would turn to the section called Applications of the Act on page 5. It says, ``This act applies to,'' and then it says, ``(1), the management of grazing on Federal land by the Secretary of Interior under * * *'' So it is the management of grazing as affected by these acts. All I said about your failure to include the provision was that somebody, if they wanted to treat your bill like they have treated my bill, would say, why does it not have in that language that says it in no way would affect, and all I said was somebody might write--since that is not there, maybe it affects them in some adverse way. I do not believe with that language which says ``grazing on Federal land,'' that we are changing these acts. It is the management of grazing on Federal land.
