Statement:
Mr. Kromer. Thank you, Senator. I'm Virgil Kromer. And I've lived in Idaho all of my life. And I've spent the last hour out here reading everybody else's statements that they've read and have said and, well, sent in and everything else. And my only conclusion from all these statements is that everybody is equally divided on this issue. So I'm just going to put in my 2 cents worth and say that I am strictly opposed to anymore wilderness because I've been up into the Gospel Hump Wilderness Area. And I'll tell you what, now, you go up there—you could spend 2 weeks walking up in there and you would never see the same place twice. And as far as I'm concerned, that's enough.
