[Vision2020] HR 3855

[Phil Nisbet]

Don

Can you sing?  I am thinking of a Ren and Stimpy tune that my boys taught 
me.

The IDL has managed less than 10% of the public lands in the state of Idaho 
and you make the BS claim that IDL is responsible for the most egerious 
errors in Land Management?   Care to back up your claim with anything other 
than hot air?
