mr. chairman , what possible reason is there for taxpayers to have to pay three , four times for the same protection of endangered species ? 
under the bill as written , the taxpayer would have to pay a landowner once for the privileges of not building the casino . 
that landowner could then sell it to his brother . 
the taxpayer has to pay his brother a second time for the same project . 
his brother could sell it to his cousin , and the taxpayer would have to pay a third time for the same casino . 
this is a failure in drafting . 
reject this bill .
