On the recordFebruary 26, 2016
I would only say that since this is a bill, the SHARE Act, about public access, about use of our treasures, our national forests and public lands, all we are asking from the Forest Service is a little bit of transparency, notice so that people aren't caught off guard. Certainly there are extenuating circumstances where notice, if there is a downed power line or debris is in the middle of a road that makes it impassable, it seems to me that is a time when notice is even more necessary and imperative for the public good. I appreciate the gentleman's comments, but would still urge my colleagues to support the amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Newhouse). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr. Fleming The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 11 printed in House Report 114-429.
