I commend my colleagues from Guam and New Mexico for their support of this legislation. This legislation was sponsored by my colleague Congressman Bass, who is unable to be here today. As the gentleman from New Mexico stated, it has broad support in New Hampshire. In fact, we are not aware of any opposition whatsoever. It has the support of a number of environmental groups as well as interested businesses that are in the forest products industry. It was a result of consensus among all of the interested parties in New Hampshire, and I urge its adoption. Also, on a personal note, having hiked extensively in this area of the White Mountain National Forest, it is a worthy candidate for wilderness designation. It is one of the most beautiful areas of our State, and I urge my colleagues to support this bill unanimously.
