I continue to share his concern about blatant Federal Advisory Committee Act violations by this administration in the development of their Roadless Initiative. In any case, I don't believe "one-size-fits-all" proposals like the President's Roadless Initiative, hatched in the halls of bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., can be any substitute for sound land management policies developed in collaboration with people at the local level. Oregonians, if given a chance, have proven time and again that they can be better stewards of the land than federal bureaucrats.
