If we approved a BRAC nothing would change at all.

Well, let me--oh, good. I am glad you said that because the Army Corps of Engineers recently did a study and they estimated the cost of relocating to Anniston, minus personnel costs, would be approximately $11 million.

Not a good answer, but I thank you for the answer.

I appreciate all our guests being here. I appreciate your testimony.

Then how are you going to fund the extra gate, the extra manpower, the extra maintenance equipment? How are you going to fund that?

Why are you still so stubborn about this?

So since you are going to spend the amount of money one way or the other, why would you actually--why in the world would anyone want to spend that much money for the rails into an antiquated facility when you can actually get a better…

So specifically, if there was a plus-up, the areas I would be looking at very quickly is, we are going to go through the NEPA process again.

I have always kept telling you, I want you out of my State of Utah. Just go away and we will all be happy.

I am proud to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Calvert) because if anyone can be considered an expert on water issues in the United States, it is the chairman of the Subcommittee on Interior Appropriations, as well as…

You know, 43 percent of my state is actually controlled by the BLM. And yet, if we are not going to actually deal something with invasive species that create wildfires, which is the greatest source of lack of habitat, then we are fooling…

We possess the knowledge to succeed but we must summons the will to do so and H.R. 3994 provides the means to be successful!

Fiscal accountability is of paramount importance and the bill further requires that at least 75 percent of the developed invasive species budgets be spent on-the-ground.
