![]() ![]() I think we will have time, but I would like to ask everyone to keep their comments to the 5-minute period. Unfortunately, as is the case with many field hearings, we do have a schedule to meet, and we have a 1:55 flight, so we have to adjourn promptly at 1 o'clock. ![]() PREV PAGE TOP OF DOC Although I came from a small town, Casper, Wyoming, it is seldom that we can take time out from our busy schedule in Congress to be able to hold these field hearings, especially in remote areas like Elko, but it is an honor for us to do that and, of course, this is where the folks that are most affected by the government decisions regarding the use of the public lands live, so it is good for us to be able to come back and hear from the very people that are affected by the decisions that we make, just how those decisions turn out in real life when you have to practice what we bring forward. My brother is a gold miner down at Misquite mine, so I sort of have a sensitive spot for gold mining. He is a valued member of this Subcommittee and we are happy to have him as our host here today in Elko, Nevada, in the heart of gold mining country. Let me begin today's hearing by thanking Congressman Jim Gibbons. We are a Subcommittee of the Committee on Resources, from the Congress, and thank you for your hospitality and thank all of you for attending. I want to thank all of you for being here today and it is an honor for me to be here. I would like to call the Subcommittee on Minerals and Energy hearing to order. So if we break out in song, you will know why, and we have the right setting for it as well.
