Debbie Dingell: “I have some further questions of the gentleman from Alaska, and they…”

On the recordApril 24, 1996

I have some further questions of the gentleman from Alaska, and they relate to the question of open until closed. Mr. Chairman, since the Resources Committee finished consideration of the legislation before us, considerable confusion has arisen over section 6 of the substitute. Specifically, I am referring to paragraph (3)(a)(2), which specifies that existing and compatible wildlife-dependent uses of a refuge are allowed to continue, on an interim basis, on lands added to the System once the legislation before us is enacted into law. Would the gentleman please explain to us the intention of this paragraph in section 6?
