Mr. President, Claims · 25 words there is no net loss of public lands. It is simply a straight exchange in terms of location. There is no net loss, none whatsoever. Positioning · 23 words I still fail to understand why the good Senator from New Mexico continues to make the case when there is no net lands. Positioning Claims · 6 words It is just a simple exchange. Procedure · 8 words The second thing I would, again, reiterate is: Procedure Aside · 1 words Okay. Aside Claims · 15 words I know--I know that my colleague is sympathetic to this issue. I truly believe it. The ask · 28 words What I would like to hear is how we are going to resolve this. I would really appreciate some commitment for how this is going to be resolved.
