"If this amendment is on the bill, if it gets on the floor, it will probably be the centerpiece of the discussion, not the sportsmen's package."

"I think, at a minimum, we have to be able to allow the agency that has the responsibility here to be able to do its public service."

"I offer Cardin Amendment No. 2, which is the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation reauthorization."

"I hope we can work this out to the satisfaction of the members of this Committee before the bill reaches the floor."
