I hope that those that are working on those regs will put somewhere in those regs in bold that we really mean it and that we intend to see this approach work.

In terms of increase in fuel load every year.

These are some examples--I do not know if you followed the debate here when we debated the Act, but that result was exactly what we were hoping to accomplish, and what you are telling us is that we are seeing some of that on the ground now.

Well, that is certainly the kind of success story that we need to hear, that and the experience on streamlining the process and the focus on prevention all are the aspects of this issue that we need to make sure the American public…

All right; thank you very much, and I would like to thank both of you for your time and attention to these issues and frankly for your work in helping this Act be effective.

Well, thank you very much, Senator Lincoln, and I, too, want to commend you for your hard work on this legislation.

We will also have additional rounds. We will try to stick to 5 minutes each round, but we will do as many rounds as we can do.

I would appreciate that, if you would have him contact my office, because first, there was an Executive Order on this, and then, you are right: you reminded me that we put it into law in the Farm bill, and I still do not see it happening.

Duly noted.

If we are lucky, off of the forest, which, if I understand you correctly, means that the fuel load in that forest is growing much, much faster than we are removing it.

I really appreciate the perspective you brought to us today as you discussed some of the critical issues relating to the impacts of our decisions in forest management on wildlife and what that can mean to us.
