I want to say specifically with regard to amendment No. 4 in this series that the chairman and I have worked together to ensure that my intention with regard to the purposes of an area called the McIntire natural area are clear. The amendment provides absolute assurance that harvest is allowable but that it be done in a small and environmentally sound manner. This area is critical to the survival, for example, the survival of the grizzly bear. We want harvests to continue, but we want it done in a manner that is in keeping with the environmental standards that the area is required to meet. That was not as clear in my original legislation as I wanted it to be. The gentleman's amendment No. 4 clarifies it, and I appreciate the gentleman working with me on this.
