senators within the middle-income metropolitan area, we have small-community concerns, we have eastern seaboard concerns. we have been working for years actually, but then months and then weeks to address concerns. we are open to do that. but it is time to wind this bill up so that we can go to conference with the house with a strong senate position and do the big-picture policy issues that need to be addressed. we must have the next generation of air traffic control started. we must have a satellite-based system that is for the whole world, for the people coming into our country and the people using our airspace. we need to have the safety and the consumer protections that are in this bill. and we need to have a responsible way for people from all over our country to come into reagan washington national airport while also protecting the people around the area from congestion. so we have a lot of concerns. i think this is a good bill, and it's getting better every day. and i do think we can come up with the right mix that will put our aviation system in the forefront of the world, because half

large areas of alaska, areas the size of the eastern seaboard, or already out when they did for resource development. congress passed the alaska and conservation act. that set aside several acres of wilderness. the interior is shopping for more. it creates a small -- strong presumption of wilderness protection. another example, the interior has set aside a polar bear critical habitat that is larger than the state of california. picture an area north of buffalo that runs down to georgia. that is the sleeping area of the critical habitat. that action will lead to costly losses and a lack of resource development. let's say you want to protect the butterfly habitat. the butterfly migrates so you protect the whole habitat of the monarchs. you set aside every inch of land east of the rocky mountains. any construction in that habitat has to get to interior. the irrational land set aside up for polar bears should be challenged by the state of alaska. it allowed to stand, it could have a severe effect on our country's ability to produce more american energy making us more reliant on foreign oil.
