“let me try to talk to the Senate about where we are. We have before us a public lands reform act that deals with grazing and other multiple uses, principally with grazing as one of the multiple uses, and the reform in that for those who are ranching on public domain. There are a number of Senators on our side and certainly on the Democrat side who want to speak to this issue. There are a number of Senators who have amendments. Let me make a few observations about that. First, I want to thank the Democrat leader, Senator Dole, my friend Senator Bingaman, and other Democrats who are working on this bill because, as I gather, we are going to try to accommodate each other and in the next couple of days get this matter to a final vote. The Republican leader has graciously given us the rest of today, most of tomorrow, and tomorrow night as long as is necessary to get this bill finished. For that we very much appreciate his generosity of the Senate's time.”
