Political Quotes

On the recordMay 17, 1994
If we continue to allow the building of roads in these areas, Madam Chairman, we are going to continue to see a system whereby the rape of the land is substituted for the care of the land, a system whereby we spend more to get the timber out than we earn, in fact three times more in the northern Rockies to get the timber out than we are in the selling of the timber. It should not be permitted, and I strongly urge my colleagues to vote for the amendment. It simply says: From now on we are not going to allow clear-cutting as a means of harvesting in the 4,000,000 acres that are now going to be subject to plans for harvesting that were ruled illegal and will be made illegal by the passage of this bill.
