John Baldacci said "But the research is not being done. The resources are being either clear-cut or overharvested, which is creating ripple impacts, which I know the gentleman cares about, in natural resources and in the quality of the environment. In order for us to be protective of our natural resources, creating a sustainable forestry program that is balanced, we need to publicly do the research. And by the ability to enfranchise and have the support of private industry with private dollars, we are able to use a public-private partnership to both protect our public resources and at the same time provide an opportunity for business and industry to create the jobs and opportunities here in this country. So I think it goes hand in hand. I appreciate the direction that the gentleman is coming from, but I think it is very important that this research go on." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
