STATEMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE BARBARA CUBIN FOR THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN MINERAL LAW INSTITUTE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1998
U.S. House of Representatives for the State of Wyoming
Washington, D.C.
I regret that I can't be with you in Houston today. Had it not been for the major back surgery I had to have in October, travel would have been much easier.

Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the ark needed a fire sprinkler system. My neighbors objected, claiming I was violating zoning by building the ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission. Then I had a big problem getting enough wood for the ark because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the spotted owl.
