On the recordOctober 30, 1997
I am sorry to interrupt the thought of the gentlewoman from Idaho, but at this moment she just brought to mind the reality that just a few years ago we had a serious debate on this floor regarding desert lands in the West and some people were suggesting that maybe those lands would not be bad for grazing. There was an amendment on the floor which opposed grazing, which eventually passed. The same two gentlemen on the other side of the aisle, the gentleman from California and the gentleman from Minnesota strongly opposed the grazing on that land, when it was obvious that not only would it be difficult land for grazing in terms of 20-mile-an-hour grazing, nonetheless, logical use of that land. It was imposed by exactly the same people, who, from what I can tell, want no grazing anywhere, and especially they are ready and willing to hurt the small farmer who is hurt most by the adjustments they are discussing here.
