We may have a little discussion about that later on, but we will try and work our way through it.

For years and years and years, groups have sought to eliminate grazing on public lands.

I am very concerned about this. You have proposed an elimination of that program administered by the BLM.

Well, I thank you. I will just answer, not as a Senator but as an auctioneer, take the money.

Working with you is a delight anyway, and I appreciate your patience today and your appearance here.

We have to be very deliberative and very careful the way we move forward on that.

I think we need to reprioritize the budget and I hope you will assist us in this regard

Will you commit to allowing the return of the previous water facilities under this temporary grazing permit?

So far you are batting 1,000. Let us see if it continues.

Finally, I just want to give you a challenge. There is a lot of marijuana being grown in national parks.

The thrust of the bill was that no private property owner be displaced, no eminent domain.

Thanks for being on top of it. I appreciate it.

I want you to know that I share the chairman's concerns about the rural and community fire funding.

I believe that the Park Service should make every effort to allow the existing ranchers who wish to do so to continue to ranch within the confines of the bill's language.

I wrote the bill specifically with the intent that the existing grazing would continue at the existing level.
