Dale Bumpers: “This amendment originally required that anybody who held more than 2,000 AUM's would have to pay whatever the State…”

On the recordSeptember 16, 1996
This amendment originally required that anybody who held more than 2,000 AUM's would have to pay whatever the State charged for lands in that State on any AUM's in excess of 2,000. I have the very distinct impression it would not make any difference, as the Senator from Montana just confirmed, how high the limit went. I think he would find it difficult, if not impossible--I detect impossible--to support the amendment. Nevertheless, I will give everybody a chance because they say 2,000 AUM's is only 166 head. So we will get it up to 400 with 5,000 AUM's. That is what my modification does. I yield the floor.
