I co-sponsored the Inslee legislation to codify the roadless rule to provide permanent protection to the $58.5 million acres of roadless area in our national forests system. The amendment today would shield the roadless rule from the dangerous changes now being proposed. It offers, in my judgment, a unique opportunity to protect the 300,000 acres of threatened old-growth habit.
