with all due respect, my judgment is, we're just not going to increase logging on Federal lands in the Mount Hood Wilderness Area.

Well, we will work with you on that. I can just tell you--Senator Smith knows--there is just a ton of economic hurt out there.

Would you like me to remove the thinning provisions that I put in, from my legislation?

It's a common misunderstanding that the only areas suitable for wilderness are those that are pristine, never touched by man.
