Mike Rounds actually said...

"I would like to just say thank you to you and to Senator Sullivan for the work that you have done on this bill so far."

"What this says is that all of the options available, not just permanent easement options, but intermediate easement options, should also be considered."

"The hope is that we will get more owners, landowners to actually agree to conservation easements in the future if it doesn't have to be one size fits all of a permanent easement only."

"So, there is a separate track for Guard and Reserve versus 'regular' armed services, if I could use that term."
