I agree.Congressional "Record PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 99^ CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION Vol. 1)2_WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1986_No. 114 Senate ? Mr. HECHT. Mr. President, today I am very pleased to join with my colleague Senator Laxalt, and my two distinguished colleagues from the State of Florida, in introducing a bill that will help protect our Nation's vital wetland resources while allowing further economic development in Nevada. The bill will accomplish a land exchange between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Aerojet General Corp. The Government will get several thousand acres of excellent wetland habitat in Florida, and Aerojet will receive a large tract of BLM land in southern Nevada. The Florida land will in turn be sold to the State of Florida, and the proceeds used to buy additional land for components of the National Wildlife Refuge System in Florida. Mr. President, this bill allows everyone to win. The Federal Government wins, the State of Florida wins, the State of Nevada wins, Aerojet General wins, and perhaps most importantly, our Nation's ever-shrinking and irreplaceable store of wetland resources comes out a definite winner. I hope this excellent bill will receive rapid consideration from the Senate and the House, so the final work on this project can be accomplished before the year is out.?
