We could buy the headwaters redwoods that are so critical to this. But in this case, most of the land is Pacific Lumber Co. land. The gentleman is right. The other point the gentleman is right on, too, is that there was a Federal court that said you have got to issue critical habitat. So the Fish and Wildlife Service was directed by a court to do it. Also, Mr. Hurwitz was stopped from logging the rest of the old growth because of a Federal court decision.
