On the recordMarch 21, 1994
I have nothing further except to, again, commend the Senator from Arkansas for his long and finally successful quest to reform something that I think not only needed reforming but has been, in this bill, reformed in a very constructive way. I want to echo the words of the Senator from Arkansas and congratulate the Senator from Utah, who, in a 1-year period of time, has come with a businessman's touch and has helped us reform something that has defied reformation for, I think, something like 17 years. I hope he is equally successful in helping us resolve some of the other difficult issues before our committee. We welcome his constructive hand in mining law reform, grazing, and some of our other difficult issues. So I wish to thank him and commend him and congratulate him for excellent work. Both he and the Senator from Arkansas have really done very well. I must say, Madam President, that the Senator from Wyoming, although he will not be voting for the bill, has been a guiding force in molding the bill.
