I think what the Senator is doing is very constructive. On the forestry subcommittee, we have heard of a myriad of health concerns which seem to me, as much as anything you are addressing, a first responder issue. These are first responders who are working in a very significant area where there are health concerns--in the forestry area. It is important from a forestry standpoint and from a first responder standpoint. I am very hopeful--I see the chairman of the full committee in the Chamber as well--that we can work this out. Given the crisis right now in your State, I want to see this adopted.
