Yeah. Pretty piss poor argument. Makes me wonder what's really going on .
What's going on is that the present administration in the Department of the Interior is committed to not allowing even one more acre of designated wilderness. Heinrich has offered to show Zinke the area, and I believe that Zinke is going to accompany Heinrich on a helicopter flyover when he is in New Mexico next month to look at the recently designated Organ Mountains and Desert Peaks National Monument in Dona Ana County. However, the word out of Interior is that a visit by Zinke to any of the National Monuments designated in the period covered by Trump's order means that the monument will be "adjusted" or nullified. I suspect that it will be the same for the parcel that would permit public access to the Sabinosa Wilderness.
