Instead of Congress making the proposal and the Administration commenting on it, we are actually in a position today of taking testimony not on the creation of a new program, but on how to stop it. In addition, there is no justification of the need for such an initiative, and the details of the initiative are insufficient. It does not include any details on how the cleanup will be accomplished, what will actually be done, or who will do the work. Allowing for the public process is another concern. There has not been sufficient time to allow the public to review and comment on the initiative.
Some people even think something sneaky is going on.
They believe it is just another intrusion of the federal government and a way to get control of all our lands. It is one important reason that this initiative should be stopped. I urge you now to vote yes on this legislation.
