speaking in opposition to the Lankford amendment, it would gut the Land and Water Conservation Fund. This is a program in which the Senator's new language would produce obstacles to the Federal government acquiring land that would cost more than $50,000 per acre, and it would simply add more redtape by having to pass another law just for the land acquisition to be purchased. I urge my colleagues to oppose the Lankford amendment and keep the Land and Water Conservation Fund for the purposes that it was designed. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
