Senator Gardner, thank you. I thank Senator Burr as well. I think this is something that, for us, is more than a policy discussion. You can see the passion from each Member here. It is a way of life. I come from a State--Montana--where a mom or a dad or a grandpa or grandma can still load up a son or daughter or granddaughter or grandson in the pickup and go down to Walmart and buy an elk tag or a deer tag over the counter and then head out and have access to public lands to hunt and to fish. That makes America unique. You don't see that in most places around the world, and that sets us apart as a unique people.
