On the recordJune 15, 2000
The gentleman and everybody on that side voted for two pieces of legislation to not repeal it but to take care of it. And what the gentleman has said and the other gentleman has said about law enforcement and other areas is just not true. What this does, if this gets through, all that ground will stay under the management plan it now has, which allows for law enforcement, which allows for cars. It does not make any changes whatsoever.
