From the transcript

Uh, so that particular conveyance That information is in your packet today. Again, I lament over and over the fact that the DNR commissioner has not been available. So while we've reached the end of our meeting today, I did want to offer Co-chair Dybert opportunity if you have any closing remarks as the House co-chair. Thank you, Chair Giesel, and thank you, Mr. Rahr, for being here today. Thank you for including the House Resources Committee in discussing this very complex issue.
