president, people have to understand is nevada, 87% of the state of nevada is owned by the federal government. that creates a lot of issues. some positive, some negative. but with the population having swelled, the issues that we are now experiencing certainly is to be expected. as our society continues to expand, stresses on our land, wildlife and water resources will continue. that's why the package of land bills in this national defense authorization act is vitally important to our country. the package is a compromise that protects our nation's wild and scenic places. our nation's unique history and opens up other lands for development. mr. president, are there provisions in this bill that i don't really care a great deal about in a positive fashion? yes, there are things in this bill i don't like. but there are things in here i like. are there things in this bill the majority of republicans probably don't like? the answer is yes. so this, mr. president, is what legislation is all about. it's about compromise. it's about working together to have an end product, and that's what we have here

my nevada copper bill will increase domestic production of copper. the second-most used mineral at the department of defense, as well as directly benefiting two bases located in the state of nevada. mr. president, as you know, roughly 85% of the land in nevada is controlled by the federal government. this presents our local and state governments with many unique challenges. our communities' economies are directly tied to the way the federal government manages those lands. they often work closely with me to develop legislative solutions to their problems. whereas out east local governments can acquire land on their to enbuild public works projects, out west, unfortunately, we have to get the permission of congress. that's why reducing the federal access to our lands has been one of our top priorities in congress. this package goes a long way towards accomplishing these goals. it resolves over 60 of these titches issues throughout the west. over 110,000 acres of land will be removed from federal ownership and utilized for mineral production, timber pro
