John Hansen: “Mr. Chairman, I found this very interesting on this debate on the Hansen amendment as I have not heard anyone talk to…”

“Mr. Chairman, I found this very interesting on this debate on the Hansen amendment as I have not heard anyone talk to the Hansen amendment except myself when we started out, and, as long as we have a few minutes here, I really appreciate my friend from New York giving me the final time in all this debate that we can find out what these people object to, and they have a list of five here. I am having a very difficult time seeing where it is in any part of the bill. It would remove areas from wilderness protection. I guess they are talking about one of these 90 something bills in the Cumberland where there is a small little road goes through so people can have access. That is as far as we can figure that out. Sets new weaker guidelines for wilderness protection; I assume they are talking about the big horn sheep which I talked about before where here we are trying to establish a herd of desert big horn sheep, and it would not be called wilderness, but it would be preserved.”
