Joe Manchin said "I also rise to oppose the amendment of my good friend from Utah. I oppose his amendment, and I will be joining Chairman Murkowski when she moves to table the bill. In my view, this is the most significant achievement of this broad public lands package. For the first time, we will be permanently reauthorizing the Land and Water Conservation Fund. This is the glue that holds us all together. This is a poison pill. This will not pass if it goes over to the House. I encourage the adoption of tabling this amendment." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
