What in your view are the top reforms that Congress should pass that would have the most impact on restoring active management in our national forests?
The grizzlies are at a record-level population. This is what the Endangered Species Act is supposed to do.
We have got municipalities right now that need to do timber projects here to reduce the threat of wildfires.
We could start by one you helped sponsor, is to reverse the Cottonwood decision.
We should celebrate the delisting and transfer that to the States.
I can tell you that the people of Montana can manage grizzly bear populations.
I have always recognized that forest health is so critical to Montana's well-being.
Unfortunately, we should rename the Libby Loggers, the 'Libby Lawyers,' because that is the only folks crawling around the forests right now...
We have a crisis on the eastern part of our State right now with drought.
I have got increased optimism as a new member of this Committee, with this bipartisan spirit.
I respectably urge--I have some bipartisan acquisition reform bills--that we may consider those at the next markup.
