“I am obviously disappointed that an objection has been rendered by my colleague from Utah, but I will say I appreciate his interest in making sure we maintain our public parks and lands, and this is certainly an interest that we all share together. It is my hope that we reauthorize this program--I know there are some very important projects that can go forward not only in New Hampshire but across the country--because you can't do anything new unless you reauthorize it. I am disappointed that there is an objection, but I am hoping this is something we can overcome and make sure we can work together and get this reauthorized. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.”
