That is your first senior moment. Thank you for sharing it with all of us, Mr. Chairman.

Just a few more. Ms. Brown, a bipartisan group of congressmen asked for an extension of the public comment period.

I believe that we are at a significant crossroads in the purposes to which the national parks will be put, and whether we are going to continue to honor the promise that has been honored to the American people for the past 150 years that…

More than 80 percent--in fact, substantially more than 80 percent were against this plan.

the best way is to adopt no action, let the Park Service go back to managing the parks.

The majority of the people that called in were against the plan, and there were very, very few that were for it.

To ensure that the public has an adequate opportunity to provide its input, I concur that an extension is necessary.

I submit these comments greatly troubled by the adverse and lasting effects this would have on Yosemite and the many visitors who enjoy the park.

I do not believe that the Park Service may simply ignore its responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act to protect the Sugar Pine Bridge and find no justification for robbing Yosemite of this iconic landmark.

We understand that an accounting of the flood repair funds has been demanded by Congressman Tom McClintock.

I want to thank you for arranging this hearing in response to the public outcry that has been raised against the proposals by the National Park Service that would radically alter the purpose, nature, and use of Yosemite National Park.
