On the recordOctober 30, 1997
I do want to say that with this fee increase, we really will be succeeding in running our cattlemen off the land. We have got to remember, this is the part of America's heritage and culture they write songs about, they copy their styles of dress back here in the East, they run their same kind of rigs back here, they make movies about them, they sing songs about them, and yet this body is willing to cut that part of America's heritage and culture loose. I say no. America is great because America is different. We are different than Madison, WI, or in Mr. Vento's district in St. Paul. It is very, very beautiful, but even the gentleman from Minnesota said these public lands are different. They are arid. He understands that. Why is that debate different now than it was then?
