not only on federal oil and gas operations but nonfederal oil and gas operations and oil and gas activities in alaska wildlife refuges. so i think it's instructive to the committee. >> madam chair, wouldn't those be the valid right of existing rights as opposed to something developed by the government after the creation of the refuge? >> it's a mix of both. some were pre-creation of refuge and others -- >> i'd love to hear from both of our staff about that because i'm not aware. >> and i think the clarify the question. the question was the purpose as a refuge. so the development of oil and gas programs as a refuge purpose. that is what you are doing here, which not only sets a precedent. it sets a precedence for what happens in the future. you are saying a wildlife refuge purpose is for oil and gas development. now, you could take that to the extreme of what would happen to other refuges in the future, but you could also take that to other areas of law of where we are trying to protect open space. and why not just say it has the same purpose? because now we're going to commingle ideas, that

but the two complement -- at least natural gas. and a lot of these resources are natural gas. again, i'm only speaking to senator cantwell's amendment. but if you want to preserve that ecosystem, actually create the opportunity to replace coal with natural gas, and complement and enable renewables, we need that natural gas. but, by the way, we also need the ecosystem which allows it. and all i'm trying to do is defend the restoration of that ecosystem. >> madam chair, as much as i would like to debate this for a very long time, i'm going to be short, because i would like to give the discretion to our colleague, senator wyden, who is anchoring another rush-through process and offer his amendment. but i would just say to senator cassidy, this does leave $1.6 billion for the four coastal states. it is just recognizing that i think it's time to try to mitigate both in alaska, which is having such unbelievable impacts that are affecting indigenous populations and assets there. i love your enthusiasm for the assets in that part of your state, because i guarantee you, when senator mu
