I have seen preservation cloaked as conservation many times, and I have a real problem with that.
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.
