mr. lee: mr. president, there's no doubt that we're blessed with beautiful, useful, and productive lands in our nation. and there's no doubt that some of them should be preserved as what they are, which happens to be national treasures. but, unfortunately, the federal government owns far too much land. it owns far more of these federal public lands than it should own and far more of these lands that it can possibly take care of. let's take a look at this map, for example. this shows in red the -- the land that's owned by the federal government in parts of the united states the federal government owns most of the land. this is certainly the case in my home state of utah where the federal government owns two-thirds of the land. notice, by the way, that in every state east of colorado, the federal government owns less than 15% of the land and in most states significantly less, and that in every state west of colorado, the federal government owns more than 15% of the land, and in many cases a whole lo
