I do not think that is nearly enough, and I have to associate my comments with Senator Dorgan.

I think when I look at your budget we are being penny-wise and dollar-foolish.

It seems to me the past administration was hell-bent on usurping State water rights in all of our rivers that come through our Western States.

I think that maybe the best thing we can do is, the next time we have a big fire out there is press OMB into service to come out there and help fight the thing.

It seems to me that when we do not plan ahead, do not have adequate precautions, we are going to pay the bill.

I might compliment you on one thing. I know in our State--and I think it is probably pretty much like this in other Western States, too--that Federal and State Foresters really work well together.

Does HUD support the concept of that bill?

Thank you for holding this hearing on the implementation of NAHASDA.

Could you find that and get that to the committee?

Do you know how many such waivers the Department has processed?

I think you are doing a pretty darn good job considering the problems with 9-11 and the mail.

Then no excuses, right?
