We are not interested in striking funding for that monument or for the other nine that they would strike either. We believe that these national monuments, belonging to all the people of the country, deserve to be protected and that the 50 million people who visit them ought to be treated properly and fairly. My colleague would deny then that opportunity.

Can you tell us how much time we have left on both sides? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New York has 6 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Texas has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.
I have deep concerns about some of the legacy policies put in place under the previous administration and which remain in effect today.
I wonder how long will training be suspended and what do we realistically hope to achieve between now and the end of 2014?
