In this very short time I will try to paraphrase it. They were talking about what a wonderful event it will be for the Santa Fe watershed--which the Senator and I have seen a number of times--when we get around to cleaning it and then thinning it, so that if water or fire would fall on the upper watershed, it would not do violence to the water, which is the long-term lifeblood for the city. I just wondered if the Senator might recognize that when we are finished tonight, if in fact the amendments are no longer in order, or if they are in order, that we will still be left with an issue of whether watersheds are going to be included in this new approach? And, if so, how much of a watershed--how much of that watershed can be done in Western States? Isn't that one of the issues remaining?
