David Skaggs: “Mr. Chairman, there are a couple of points in the bill that we expect…”

On the recordJuly 21, 1998

Mr. Chairman, there are a couple of points in the bill that we expect to get to in conference that I hoped I might be able to discuss with the chairman of the subcommittee. In particular the bill already includes, Mr. Chairman, as you know, an increase in funding for the management of the National Wildlife Refuge System. I strongly support that increase, among other reasons because it is my understanding that such sites as the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Refuge and the Two Ponds Refuge, both located in the metropolitan Denver area, would be examples of the kind of refuges that would benefit from this increase. I hope the chairman can confirm my view in that respect.
