“We will continue to do that important work, and I appreciate the gentleman's statement in that regard. And I concur with it. It is worth mentioning--I don't know that it has been mentioned yet during this debate: We have worked very hard. I have a stack of emails. This is literally 35, 40 pages of emails, exchanges between my staff who work on public lands with the Representative from the Third Congressional District over the last 8 months, working, trying to get that consensus. I will certainly pledge to the gentleman that we are going to keep doing it. Mr. Chair, with that, I am ready to close as well, but I will reserve the balance of my time.”
