I think you were suggesting that there is broad consensus to back up, in the industry, both the users and the scientific community, to support the guidance that you have issued.

We want to thank you and all of the witnesses that are here today for being with us to talk about this important legislation bills--one that protects cultural and traditional uses of land, landscapes in New Mexico; another protects marine…

I can tell you that when we talk about $60 billion being gone up in air--and $60 billion is a lot of change, I mean, that is a lot of Montana budgets for a lot of years--we are doing something wrong and it is unacceptable.

I cannot say that. I have not seen that. And when we are talking about deficits--by the way, this is inappropriate at any time, but especially when we are talking about deficits like we have now--we have to get our arms around this…

I can only attribute this conduct to an unwavering bias against the oyster farm and historic ranches.

We are talking about $60 billion here.

Maybe we should raise it in a hearing like this and shine a light on it?
