On the recordJune 20, 1996
I hear time and time again from the other side they are for salvage sales. We had salvage sales. Then we had an appeals process that rendered salvage sales useless because the appeals would go on for years. Most of us know this timber has to be cut within 6 to 24 months. So it rendered the whole question of salvage moot, and they know that, because they want no lumber cut, no timber cut in forests. Today in the Committee on Resources there was a host of people from Montana. The gentleman says he watches tree by tree. Commissioners and foresters were there testifying saying salvage is the greatest thing that has happened to Montana. I would suggest the gentleman talk to those people. They are probably still in town.
