Rob Bishop actually said...

"Today this Subcommittee is hearing testimony on non-Federal forest management and what the Federal Government can learn to better promote healthy forests and rural communities and jobs."

"So I believe our national forests and public lands are long overdue for a paradigm shift."

"So, I am looking forward to hearing more detail from these witnesses on how they are able to accomplish--but I actually think there is a couple of reasons I can guess on why it is actually possible."

"It is not anti-environment to talk about thinning forests through sustainable management, but it is both scientifically demonstrable and common sense."
