On the recordOctober 30, 1997
To the gentleman in the well I would say if this is such a wonderful bill which was introduced September 17, why were there not hearings in the Committee on Agriculture? Why were there not hearings in the Committee on Resources? It is not a 7-month bill. It is more like a 7-week bill that never had any hearings. That is why we are concerned. The sound science in this bill puts science in a straitjacket in terms of changing the AUM's, changing the procedure for the Forest Service.
