“When credit is earned, credit needs to be given where it is due, and Chairman Rahall has a wonderful bill. I am totally supportive of his efforts, and it's an excellent bill. This ensures that hunting rights will continue in this great area, the New River Gorge National River. I am encouraged to see that many of my colleagues on the other side appreciate the importance of hunting and the benefit it has on public lands even within the Park Service System. And I hope that the chairman will join with us as we work to ensure second amendment hunting rights on Federal lands are secured in the other 49 States as well. I am confident that we can build a consensus around State and local control of hunting and deliver the rights that this legislation ensures to the Federal land around this particular entity. As I said, I am totally in support of this bill. I think it's an excellent bill.”
