C.L. Otter: “But getting to the issue that we are debating here on the Yellowstone National Park, not too long ago, perhaps far too…”

But getting to the issue that we are debating here on the Yellowstone National Park, not too long ago, perhaps far too long ago for certain people to recall, someone once said, ``and they sent hither swarms of agents to harass our people and eat out their substance.'' And that is precisely what these swarms of people from New Jersey and from other places east of the Mississippi River, and a few other misguided souls that have found their way west, perhaps are doing with this issue. I want to remind the gentleman from New Jersey that when that report was written there was no such thing as a 4-stroke engine in a snow machine. So how convenient to use that argument when there was no 4-stroke engine. The EPA report dealt only with 2-stroke engines, not 4-stroke engines.
