"Congress should not step in to eliminate this important science-based conservation program."

"The Wyden bill excludes the public from participating in the management of their public lands."

"We hope that Senator Wyden will be willing in the coming weeks to discuss possible ways to increase the certainty of achieving the outcomes intended by his bill."

"I would like to congratulate Senator Wyden for his work and endless energy for striking a balance."
