Americans all across the country, of all backgrounds, and of all political views, care deeply about the health of our land and
water resources—the wildlife, parks, forests, farms and ranchlands, and historic places that have sustained and
enriched us as a people over generations. We are past due for a serious look at where we stand as a country in achieving
our goal of safeguarding these resources.
Senator Lamar Alexander (TN) & Senator Jeff Bingaman (NM)July 2009
