Mr. Speaker. I am not in agreement with what my colleague from California says. It reminds me of something that was said by Danny Thomas years and years ago. Danny was portraying the part of an immigrant Lebanese boy and he was bragging about this country and what we could do in it. I always remember that Danny made this statement: America is a great country. You can do anything here you want to do. but dont do it in my front yard. I have been on the National Parks and Recreation Subcommittee for 12 years. I have never seen a time yet that I did not have somebody coming in and saying. "Well. we would like to have the park. but we want you to take this in or take that out." I think the committee has done a pretty good job here and I hope this bill is not sent back for that reason.
