our national parks are facing $13 billion in maintenance needs. The entire Federal land of States is looking at $22 billion in needs. We want to keep these resources and parks open for our children and grandchildren to marvel at and enjoy. All of us have unique and special areas within our States, but we in Congress have the responsibility to care for the natural resources of our country. This amendment has been softened so that the limitations are now just considerations. Let's vote yes on this amendment to take care of the resources we have so that future generations can enjoy them. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Maryland.
