acquire critical inholdings of land from willing sellers, and this takes in 11 western states as well as alaska. our sportsmen's package also contains senator wicker's bipartisan bill that will enable hunters in all states to purchase duck stamps electronically. currently, eight states are now participating in a private program that enables the issuance of e-duck stamps. hunters in those eight states have actually purchased 3.5 million electronic stamps. i can tern personally vouch for the benefits of enabling hunters in all states to actually purchase duck stamps online. there have been occasions when members of my own family were unable to take a visitor hunting because we couldn't find a physical stamp. let me give you an example. our son-in-law came to visit last year. my husband had planned to take him duck hunting and, unfortunately, three different places my husband visited had all sold out of duck stamps. so now when my husband buys his duck stamps for the season, he purchases two or three extra just in case a family member or a visitor decides to go hunting with my husband. so enabling all hunters to purchase these duck stamps online will not cost taxpayer

conservation easements but would allow the alaska native land holders to determine themselves which lands will be invested. i strongly support this provision and the underlying bill and it's always interesting, we talk about our good chairman, his proposal for tax reform. if i remember correctly, that side of the aisle criticized that tax reform badly. i'm not yielding. it's my time. criticized that tax reform. did not do it when they were in the majority. they passed obamacare, they passed cap and trade, they passed, you know, the stimulus package and they passed dodd-frank. didn't address this issue of being fiscally responsible. that mazes me. now i hear from that side to be fiscally responsible. but what we're trying to do here is give an extension for those who want to give neds of going through this congress. let's let the private individual be the one to decide to help his neighbor, not the bureaucracy. it amazes me how this changes, somebody on this side can say, we need reform, we need reform that side.nored by i compliment the chairman for his work. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan is recognized. mr. levin: i yield myself 30 seconds.
