First, I want to make clear that no provision of H.R. 1675 should be read or interpreted as altering in any way the purposes or administration of the Refuge Recreation Act of 1962. Second, the term ``compatible use'' is defined in a way that codifies an existing definition used by the Fish and Wildlife Service for many years, using reliable scientific information for reaching compatibility decisions.

When the tribe asked Congressman Don Young to cosponsor the bill years ago, he looked me in the eye and said, so the landowners get resolved, the tribe still has to prove its case, are you sure that is what you want? I said, yes, sir, it…
I look forward to once again hearing from the countless Alaskans and Americans who helped us develop these positive reforms.

Mr. Young's bill continues that management style while providing for more flexibility and transparency in the law.
