As I conclude, let me note that all is not lost just yet. There still will be opportunities to improve the Committee on Resources provisions. The gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Kind) will be offering an amendment to strike the non-ANWR oil and gas provisions, the giveaways, if you will, from this bill; and that means that one can be for drilling in ANWR. I am not, but my colleague can be for drilling and still vote for the Kind amendment. Then I will be offering an amendment to strike the Federal coal leasing provisions that are anticompetitive and do real harm to consumers and coal miners in many States. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
