On the recordOctober 30, 2019
While I appreciate my colleague's statement-- and I don't know that I heard a particular answer to the fundamental question as to whether or not he would be supportive of this bill were his amendment to pass--again, I think we are trying to approach this in a good faith way. We want to find consensus. So, if the Representative from the Third Congressional District believes that this amendment is necessary to protect the ranching heritage on these lands for future generations, which is obviously a goal that he and I both share, I will support the amendment. Mr. Chair, I am no longer in opposition and will encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
