I think that it is not being done. This has been the answer from the Forest Service for a long time of anything that we had recommended. The truth is that if it is redundant, the thing is, it is based on using existing information but putting it together in a different way. That has not been the past. The corridors the gentleman criticized and some of the other aspects are at the very cutting edge of new science and land use management. I would urge rejection of the amendment for that reason.
