Wayne Gilchrest: “I see this Interior bill as an issue to get the Nation back to work, to open up the Park Service, to talk about…”

On the recordJanuary 4, 1996
I see this Interior bill as an issue to get the Nation back to work, to open up the Park Service, to talk about legitimate policy differences... I think the Interior bill is not a perfect bill, it is not an excellent bill. It is a moderate approach to solve the problems of the Federal lands, and I think it should be voted on, and I think we should override the Presidential veto. On a couple of the policy differences, restricting our natural resources with this bill I do not think is correct. I think this bill goes a long way in enhancing the policies to improve the natural resources of the United States. It is not perfect, but there is no utopia. Let us move in the right direction.
