Appreciate the support of congress to resolve this extraordinary challenge. Thank you. Director jarvis, thanks very much. Because of the number of senators here, ill ask one question to get us started and recognize our colleagues. Director jarvis, for decades, the park service has recommended expanding the Oregon Caves National monument. And one of the primary reasons has been because the existing site is not large enough to protect the site, given the volume of visitors. So in the case of oregon caves, not expanding the site could actually increase the cost of maintaining a very unique resource. My point is that the park acquisition and maintenance costs are not always in conflict, and certainly the oregon caves raises that issue. Adding to the monument might actually hold down the cost of maintaining the site. So my question to you, dr. Jarvis, is isnt this part of the thinking that ought to go into this debate . In other words, were going to explore plenty of ideas. And you saw that
