"Putting them out means spending more money on what is known as wildfire suppression."
"So Ms. Dalton, we have gone round and round over the years on this question of what the agencies are doing to reduce fuels."
"I thank my colleague. You're absolutely right in terms of your diagnosis and the opportunity to move ahead."
"So I'm really going to push hard to try to find out specifically what's going to be done now."
"We need still, though, more resources to reduce hazardous fuels and suppress wildfires that do occur."
"Senator Murkowski and I would do anything possible to get that aviation strategy completed."
"I look forward to working closely with you."
"I'm looking for some specifics because what we have heard in the past is largely just a recycling of the various approaches."
"The more specifics you can give us, the better."
"Because we're clearly talking about millions of acres."
"It all suggests from the experts that the number of acres that are being treated to actually reduce this problem of tremendous fuels buildup is unreliable."
