H.R. 2839 will go a long way toward finally healing those wounds after 43 years.
the next time that we have really bad wildfires, it is not just going to be 4,000 homes. It will be one of our urban areas, and it will make the Paradise California Fire look like a campfire.
I would like to know if you could put that in writing in this rule that, in the case of inconsistencies of FLPMA and the O&C Land Act, that the O&C Land Act will prevail.
We have an extreme backlog of infrastructure investments. For instance, in two of the six counties that I represent, Lane and Douglas County, each one of which is about the size of Connecticut, we have 700 bridges, the vast majority of which were built in the 1950s and 1960s, that are in dire need of repair or replacement.
