I want to note, for the Record, if there is anything as a demonstration of my colleagues in this chamber, I would say that the delegation from Colorado, both Republican and Democrats, probably has displayed the highest example of what bipartisanship should be when it comes to this issue of wilderness legislation. I want to commend the gentleman for being a part of that ability to give and take.

It is purely bipartisan, and we can all be very proud when the vote names the Spanish Peaks of Colorado as a wilderness.
