On the recordSeptember 8, 1999
I say to my friend, I can put it in specific dollars. Already the Hutchison amendment, since she first offered it and our colleagues backed her on it, has lost taxpayers $88 million, and if she succeeds in this, although Senator Hutchison has pared it back to a year, another delay of a year, it is another $66 million. That is a lot of millions of dollars. Taxpayers already have lost $88 million, and they are about to lose another $66 million unless we can stop this. The Interior Department is with us 100 percent.
