On the recordMarch 15, 1995
First of all, let say that this Taylor amendment is a good amendment. Last year we spent a billion dollars fighting wildfires here in America. But more importantly, we lost 26 good people and millions of acres of forest land. The past few years have seen a stunning decline in the management of the health of our forests. This amendment will give us a chance to bring some of the health back to our forests. In the last 5 years we lost 6 billion board feet per year in timber wasted in our national forests. This is a good, commonsense amendment, the Taylor amendment. I hope Members vote for it.
