Rob Bishop: “I don't really think that is accurate because there is no purpose. If there was a purpose, it would have been written…”

On the recordApril 9, 2008
I don't really think that is accurate because there is no purpose. If there was a purpose, it would have been written down as to what the purpose is. This simply says there will be values; and there is no definition of what those values are. I would remind all of my colleagues in this room, this is the language that the department said they do not want. This is the language BLM says does harm to them. This is the language they said was too vague and should be fixed, and it has not been fixed. That is why it should be eliminated.
