“I thank the gentleman for his comments here. Mr. Speaker, we have heard now from three Members from the west coast--one from California, one from Oregon and one from Washington-- who have explained the situation and how this particular act is, indeed, a solution to the problems that those west coast States are finding in their forestry efforts. But this also impacts the interior of this country, so I would like to yield a few minutes to the representative from the State of Montana, who represents the entire State of Montana, to explain how this has an impact on interior State forests, as well as the coastal State forests. I yield to the gentleman from Montana (Mr. Daines) to explain what's happening in his State.”
