“But she would be there, I understand, and I speak as one of the new cochairmen for the Sportsmen Caucus along with the gentleman from Tennessee, and the Sportsmen Caucus is founded to support the rights of fishermen and families that are interested not only in conservation, in the environment as far as fishing and hunting and a national treasure that we have enjoyed over a lifetime. This is a pro-environment bill, although there will be some that say it is not, and I think what we need in this body is more of a middle-of-the-road kind of direction instead of those that want to pave over the world, like those groups like Earth First, Earth Island, in which the Unabomber's manifesto was drafted and the extremist groups and special-interest groups on both sides, and I think that this bill tries to come somewhat in the middle.”
