“I think in America people should realize we have 368 units of the National Park Service. It costs an awful lot of money, and Mr. Regula has that responsibility. I have the responsibility to make sure they are run correctly, managed correctly. We find out, however, that we have a lot of parks that are in dire need of help. Yellowstone, for example, has 28 miles of impassable roads; Yosemite has problems, Everglades have problems. We have got problems in parking, sewer systems and culinary water systems. We wonder why did we find ourselves in a position such as this. So we are doing everything in our power not only to appropriate money, but to come up with a better management procedure. We are trying to come up with ways to give the superintendent of the park a better way to do it.”
