I said, 'You know, we think that that is trade-related, not health-related.'

I think the WTO has attacked import quotas as things that need to be converted into tariffs over time.

They say now it is about a $1 billion industry. Over half is plagiarized, i.e., Chinese beadwork, whatever, plastic in place of turquoise, Kuchinas carved in Mexico, all that kind of stuff.

But I would encourage you to do the best you can. It is just kind of a mess to try to find what the Park Service should be accepting and what they should not.

Well, you may have to work with some of the agencies that are already in place, such as the Indian Arts and Crafts Board.

Something sounds wrong with that. I think that might be what we call the law of unintended consequences.

I am pleased that a major portion of the fees from the contracts are to remain in the park from which the money came.

It is just a complicated mess, and since some of those crafts they call traditional but they are not, if you go back far enough in time.

Then I can tell you, you have got your work cut out for you. It is a mess.

I do not think anything in my experience has been more complicated than finding fairness in the parks.

That sounds like something that needs to be defined or changed, too.

Concession management is a crucial part of our National Parks.

If I could just say, I could not agree with you more, except that there may be the opportunity for a major initiative by the administration to create a verification protocol sufficiently intrusive, mutually agreed upon, that what you can…

I think Joe Biden is correct. I think the Senate will embrace your nomination unanimously.

I think that through the United Nations, where they sit with us on the Security Council, et cetera, there are a number of opportunities to build a better understanding.

I think if we could enlist your support in perhaps making that a top priority as we move into a tax cut.

I hope you might find a way to increase the level of awareness of how important these issues are.

I commend you for your courage and your willingness to join in that particular effort.
