I support this compromise because I believe my friends from the West have some reasonable complaints with the current system. It is not unreasonable to involve Congress in changes in the status of huge tracts of land, tracts of land of 50,000 or more acres, as is the case in point. The President still has the authority to move forward with the designation of smaller tracts of land, and I think that is an appropriate responsibility for the President.
