On the recordApril 12, 1994
it is not often that the Wilderness Society and the Senator from Wyoming are on the same side of an issue. It may be that they would even change their side of the issue if they knew I was going to insert their impacts. But in the majority leader's park in Maine, Acadia--which I, incidentally, helped the majority leader expand a few years back--it was slated to receive $631,000 from the economic stimulus legislation. The money would have enabled the park to maintain seasonal ranger staff and its interpretive program at 1992 levels, tackle sewage problems, step up efforts to help endangered species, and undertake other projects that have been put off in recent years. It did not happen. We have Acadia in Maine; Big Bend in Texas; Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina; Cuyahoga Valley in Ohio; Glacier National Park in Montana; Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee, the Presiding Officer's State; Hot Springs in Arkansas, the President's home State; Indiana Dunes in Indiana; Mammoth Cave in Kentucky; North Cascades National Park in Washington State; Olympic National Park in Washington State; Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado; Shenandoah in Virginia; Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan; Yellowstone in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho; Yosemite in California, and Zion National Park in Utah. This is a limited number, and that is what I have asked to have printed in the Record.

I would. But there is no reason it has to be. They hunt in the Grand Teton National Park. It does not stop anything from going on there. Hunting can be eliminated under that status, as well. It is not an issue between hunting and mining…

I will not continue this except to say one of the experiences I have had since I have been on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee was meeting a gentleman in Kentucky, in a national park, who had an inholding that he could not get…

It is not here anymore. And my question is, what is it about ruling that makes governments resist management? If the excuse was that the Bush administration stopped the Senator from doing it, well, that administration is gone.
