I think under RAWA you would have about $13 million a year, but you probably have the potential to generate $30 or $40 million a year to do wildlife management where you don't have something like a timber resource to pay it back.
I want to thank them for working tirelessly to bring the issues important to their districts to this committee.
So, I just wanted to give you an opportunity to explain some basic economics in a free-market capital system that gets manipulated by cartels and countries that join together to set oil prices when we don't have enough production.
However, we greatly appreciate Chairman Westerman's commitment, and his passion for voluntary cooperative conservation.
