I was disappointed to see him leave the BLM and hope to have a similar working relationship with Mr. Kornze.  I have heard some very good things about him from people I respect.  I look forward to working with him on matters concerning Utah and our nation’s public lands and hope he will be open-minded about the importance of multiple use.”
