On the recordSeptember 8, 1999
I must tell you that I listened with a degree of frustration, certainly in no disrespect to the Senator, but to what I sensed was a lack of understanding of what has brought us to this issue and why the Appropriations Committee found it necessary at this moment in time to speak out and to clarify public policy that the Senator from Virginia is trying to undo. The Senator from Montana, the Senator from Oregon, myself, and others from large public land and forest States have grown tremendously frustrated not by just this administration but by public policy that puts all of us at odds.
