I see no reason that the Forest Service or BLM should be dealing with pandemics or other civil defense crisis as a core mission.
That's why this reserve fund is important.
But whether it's 2 percent or whether it's 3 percent, I think we understand what we're dealing with.
Today I think we have seen fire preparedness and suppression become the tail that literally wags the dog.
