On the recordJune 19, 1996
let me just say that after having hearings on each one of those issues you mentioned, we are trying to come up with a grazing bill that pays more. We have had more hearings that say that they are not being subsidized in both timber, mining and grazing than we have otherwise. I do not know where the gentleman comes up with those figures, because they are surely not the figures we get in front of the committee. That is the line of extreme environmentalists. We do not get that. We sit there for hour after hour after hour going through this. I would like to know where these figures come that you are talking about. I have never seen them, and I have been on that committee for 16 long years.
