Our job is to do what we think is right, and if we get dis-elected we get dis-elected, that is okay.
In many respects, returning to this subcommittee is like coming home.
I support what they are doing. It is an old theater that is on the National Historic Registry.
One of the big complaints they have is that consolidation at Albuquerque and the difficulty it has made their job.
I also want to thank you for your willingness to assist my office with some complex Forest Service issues in my home State of Idaho.
I hear this from Forest Service employees quite frankly all over the country that have talked to me and their concern of the morale.
I applaud your efforts in that area.
What is important to us with this regulatory procedure is that the EPA follow what we call around here 'regular order.'
And why OMB looks at the Forest Service and says that and does not say it in some other area is of concern.
They just have fewer people amongst whom to split up the costs, and so it is more per homeowner.
Small communities simply cannot afford these loans; in fact, that is one of the real problems we have.
