I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and at this time i would yield to the chairman. Mr. Calvert im not going to oppose your amendment.

These restrictions have delayed the permitting process slowed Economic Growth in your state and many other states around the union, various groups have used that to their advantage, so i agree that more certainly certainty is needed in the leasing and permitting process. What im afraid of is that this might lead to a precedent for preempting the department of interiors Decision Making authority under any president and may lead to other amendments and kind of opening pandoras box of members doing specific amendments that are off their particular states.
