On the recordJune 7, 2000
I have completed my thoughts, but I just want stress to one and all that this is a very fragile, carefully crafted agreement which has been signed onto by the Secretary of the Interior, with whom we have been in touch just this morning. We are not foreclosing any options. Once again, we have worked so well in the past, and I look forward to working continually in the future as well. We are not foreclosing any options. We may revisit this and say we have to do more, but let us not put at risk this carefully crafted compromise. I thank the gentleman.
