John Barrasso actually said...

"this committee has studied these issues, now time to act before it's too late to save our treasured national forests and the local communities around them."

"The committee recognizes timber harvest is a good thing. We need to get the cut-up to help our forests and communities get healthy again."

"That's why I introduced this bill, the National Forest Jobs and Management Act. The primary purpose of the bill is to solve the forest health and rural community crisis."

"Senator Barrasso, I too want to thank you for your work to be able to get that for us."
