“Reclaiming my time, at one point the gentleman suggested you could not get to your grazing permit, and the fact is that the bill and the law allow you and do provide for access to that. That was my point. The notion--and obviously what we are doing here and what the Senate did was to create a wilderness area, is not the exact experience that you have in your city park where you can simply drive, get out of the car and do something alongside of the road. That is the purpose of designating this area. But the suggestion here is that somehow or other hikers, rock collectors will not be able to collect rocks because they will not have access. They are going to have access to millions of acres of land as the bill is currently proposed. They can do that from roads, and as I said, in excess of 33,000 miles of road that continue to remain open for the pursuit of those activities.”
