On the recordApril 23, 1996
I believe that if you are going to save the environment, you have got to follow the fifth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, just as the Supreme Court said you have to follow it with reference to the California coast. You cannot take people's property and say, ``Well, sorry, you lived there for five generations and you are going to give it up to the State at no cost.'' That is nonsense, and I will continue to vote for private property.
