On the recordJune 19, 1996
I rise and reluctantly oppose this amendment. The reason I am opposing it is that this cut of forest road money will result, by an estimate from the Forest Service, in a billion board feet reduction in the timber harvest program, our timber sale program. We only have 4.9. It is dramatically lower than it was historically. So if we take this money out of the roads, there is a corresponding reduction in timber sales. When you have that corresponding reduction in timber sales, it reduces the revenues to the Government and to local communities.
