I agree. My question is, are we going to walk, ride, or float? I also would acknowledge that the local people ought to have some input in this, and I think they have. But as my colleague, the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Cannon) suggested, the West's economic structure is changing. People are coming to the West for different economic reasons.

I thank my colleague.
