On the recordJune 19, 1996
I wanted to say to my two colleagues over there, there is a way for Mr. Hurwitz to get a certain program where he can continue to harvest on his entire property, and that is to do a multispecies HCP like every other responsible timber company is doing in the Northwest. But he will not do it because he wants to get special legislation either to exempt him or he wants to take it to court and raise a taking. The reason this land is so important on this private property is because it has got the most nesting murrelets in the entire northern California area. That is why the judge, the scientists and everyone else said it is critical habitat and that is why we have to protect it. Now, that makes sense to me, and I appreciate the gentlewoman's yielding.
