Mr. Chair, I would just say to my friend from California that former Speaker Henry Clay, who was famous for bringing barrels of white oak filled with Kentucky whiskey up to the Capitol Building, used to famously say that Kentucky bourbon could lubricate the wheels of government. I would hope that the gentlewoman would take that into consideration in withdrawing her opposition to this very important amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield time to the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Westerman), the sponsor of the legislation and the chairman of the Natural Resources Committee.
