It was once said some of my colleagues across the aisle aren't always trying to mislead people or mis-state facts, they just know so much about just what isn't so.
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.
And I do want to make a clarification here. The idea of valuing our natural assets I don't think is a bad idea, and I think the US is probably behind in that, in creating standards.
conservation will ultimately boil down to rewarding the private landowner who conserves the public interest.
