That would be----your job, not mine.

When you say 'stands,' you mean stands of trees, not----

I know he'd--otherwise, he'd feel left out.

I offer my wholehearted support for the nomination of Dan Elliott III to serve as the Chairman of the Surface Transportation Board.

On behalf of American Rivers' 65,000 members and supporters across the nation, thank you for holding a hearing on legislation that will designate outstanding rivers in Oregon and Washington as National Wild and Scenic Rivers.

Thank you both for taking the time to come to Washington, DC, on behalf of the causes and projects that you hold dear.

The Subcommittee on National Parks will come to order.

Bottom line is this is an important piece of legislation and I look forward to working with Senator Shaheen and making sure that we pass it.

I drafted legislation that would authorize the EPA and the States to issue so called Good Samaritan permits.

I look forward to working with Senator Feinstein on this important aspect of Mining Law reform.

I'm a strong supporter of reform.
