Barbara Cubin: “many of these places have not been surveyed. Many of these sections…”

On the recordJuly 13, 1995

many of these places have not been surveyed. Many of these sections have not been surveyed. So it requires a professional to know what is private land and what is public land. Again, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of square miles that are owned in this way without markers, without corner posts, so that people will know where the land is. That is why I am saying that is is necessary that professionals do the counting in the West, and that is the reason for the chairman's amendment, and I think the chairman's amendment is good, and I hope you will defeat the amendment on the floor.
