I really believe that decision was made way above the level of the Interior Department.
this is actually extremely more innovative than just saying, oh, we are going to pull $1.3 billion out of the air from our kids and our grandkids and shove it down to the states with no responsibility.
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 would like to thank Congresswoman Dingell and the other Members of the Subcommittee who supported that legislation for your efforts on this important issue.
