A number of objections from people in the vicinity of a portion of that land exchange were made both to me and to my colleague, Senator Murray.

I would like to say a number of those objections were valid objections and deeply concerned this Senator, and we hope they will largely be alleviated by the prompt response of Plum Creek.
