I would like to encourage my friends to recognize the reality that the influx of funds provided to our forest management agencies have thus far failed to deliver the increase in pace and scale of fuels treatment that is truly needed.
Tom Tiffany urges recognition of funding failures in forest management.

We cannot allow bureaucracy to get in the way of saving lives in our communities, which is why I strongly support this bipartisan bill.
Another really consistent message we have heard throughout this Committee is local communities, oftentimes small communities that are near these areas, that they get the opportunity to thrive also.
One of the bills we will be considering today, Representative Franklin's bipartisan H.R. 8206, embodies this ethic by preventing an unpopular wilderness designation from being established in Big Cypress National Preserve in Florida.
Senator Sarbanes was a tireless champion of preserving Fort Mc Henry throughout his long career.
