“I will only take a minute. I say to my good friend from Oregon, I thank him for his remarks. I am very hopeful that whenever we vote on this bill, the Senator will vote aye, because whatever it is the Senator thinks does not fit the bill in this amendment can be rectified. I also say that my mentioning of the distinguished majority leader was with praise, with congratulations, and stating that he showed us how. I did not say we have to do it the same way, but he did change the effect of NEPA for his State once and for all on these forests. I am very proud he did. I want to do something close to that when we do it. I do not want to close the gates of the courthouse. In fact, we did less of that in this than with other bills. I think the Senator knows that.”
