On the recordNovember 4, 1997
this is yet another noncontroversial Colorado bill which we have already considered in the House. H.R. 1020 passed the House on June 3, 1997. The bill was introduced by the gentleman from Colorado [Mr. McInnis]. The other body in its wisdom has sent it back to us as Senate bill 591. The bill provides for the transfer of the Dillon Ranger District in the Arapaho National Forest to the White River National Forest in Colorado. The administration has no objection to this bill, nor does this side of the aisle. Mr. Speaker, I want to commend the gentlewoman from Idaho as chairman of the Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health for her diligence, for her leadership and for her attention to issues such as this. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time.

There is a trade-off between privacy and security. And what I worry is that we will overreact to Snowden's foolish revelations.
