“So that would be about 200 million a year that you are short. I wondered if the gentlewoman was aware that in this bill there is $61 million for the State of Washington and the Weyerhaeuser Timber Corporation to do a kind of experiment in how to save trees by cutting them down, and none of the other States were allowed to participate in this, including New York State where they have major timber and pulp. So all through this bill there are special little interests gifts. Think of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Corporation and how badly they need an extra $61 million as compared to the people of 9/11.”
