C.L. Otter said "Mr. Chairman, I rise to enter into a colloquy with the gentleman from New Mexico (Chairman Skeen). The land acquisition that I would like to bring to the gentleman's attention today is 5,988 acres which is in-holding called Thunder Mountain. Thunder Mountain is located in the Payette National Forest in West Central Idaho and is located in the heart of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness area. This area is home to five listed species and large populations of game, large game including elk, deer, moose, and bighorn sheep. The purchase of this land would allow the Forest Service to protect the critical areas that are necessary for generations to come. I offer my appreciation to the gentleman from New Mexico (Mr. Skeen) in advance for the gentleman's sincere consideration of this effort." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
