The problem is, if we do not straighten out this language as we straighten out the bill's focus, if I can make the point, Federal regulatory law in wetlands and endangered species areas can be and is, in fact, duplicated on the State level, in many cases. It is duplicated, in many cases, because some States carry out the Federal policy. The point is, if under the court decisions you are only losing your right to use the property as a result of these wetlands and endangered species regulations, it should not matter that the State has duplicated those regulations. You ought to still be entitled to compensation.
