Mr. President, let me respond to the map issue. I think the Senator from Alaska characterized it as ``flimflam.'' That is what this legislation is. As recently as yesterday, in requesting the maps, they had none. The only thing they have is these notes right here. I ask unanimous consent that they be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: payments to local counties eliminated Annual payments prior to first receipt of fuel: 2.5 million/year $12.5. Upon 1st fuel receipt: 5 million/one time 5.0. Annual payments after 1st receipt until closure: $5 million/year (2007-2042 125 million.) Total--Over 140 million up to 2042 then 5 million/year after that. land conveyances retained Total of: 76,000 acres. 46,000 to Nye County. 30,000 to Lincoln County. For a variety of uses: For example-- City of Caliente: Municipal landfill (240 acres). Community growth (2,640 acres). Community recreation (800 acres). Lincoln County Community Growth: Pioche--2,080 acres. Panaca--2,240 acres. Rachel--1,280 acres. Alamo--1,920 acres. These lands had been previously identified by BLM as available for disposal. Towns: Beatty--3,400 acres. Ione--1,280 acres. Manhattan--750 acres. Round Mountain/Smokey Valley--11,300 acres. Tonopah--11,500 acres. Total estimated 28,230 acres. Towns: Amargosa--2,700 acres. Pahrump--14,750 acres. Total estimated 17,450 acres.

I hardly know where to begin because so much misinformation has been uttered about this piece of legislation. This is clearly a legislative vessel that is flying under false colors. There is absolutely nothing in this bill that says, look…
