we inevitably would end up saying to ourselves, "if any of the Congressmen and women 

 are duck hunters, they will know how important it is to get water to the refuges and 

 habitat." Frankly, we hope that we could get some or all of you out to the Grasslands 

 while you are considering this legislation. I am confident that if you came out to see the 

 land, and see the wildlife you would understand why the changes to the legislation that 

 we seek are so important to us. 



Thank you again for the honor of testifying, and I look forward to answering any 

 questions that you might wish to ask.
