So, Mr. Chairman, as I understand this, what the gentleman from Utah is doing is his very best to represent the interests of his State. And what the gentleman from Colorado is doing was try to represent the best interests of his State. So I think in fairness to the Members of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, it would be proper for us to adopt Mr. Cannon's amendment. That way it would satisfy Mr. Udall by restricting and limiting the permitting process in Colorado but allowing the gentleman from Utah to represent his district by letting the permitting process move forward. So I would encourage the Members of the House to support Mr. Udall via Mr. Cannon's amendment and vote to accept the Cannon amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
