Reclaiming my time, I thank the chairman for working with me on this matter. I appreciate his willingness to work with me. I want to achieve what the ultimate intent was, and that is, to have this amendment pertain to Federal lands. My response is that I do not object to a modification of the amendment to make clear that the review and report required of the Secretary should be limited to State permitting of hydraulic fracturing on Federal lands, which will, in fact, provide this Congress with the necessary information on these processes. I yield to the chairman.
