[Vision2020] HR 3855

What the amount of land has to do with it is fairly simple.  You are citing 
a few thousands of acres in one bad management area.  I was citing among 
others, the Targhee Caribou where the clear cutting was over a million 
acres, which is almost more forested land than IDL manages altogether.  You 
cite one small creek drainage and I can return to USFS clear cuts that 
covered complete River systems.

Nobody is without sin here.  The USFS, the BLM, IDL and private timber all 
have a lot of bad record to live down.

That is the Priest Lake SA for IDL and they manage 184,000 acres total and 
cut 400-500 acres a year.  There are individual clear cut areas on the 
Targhee that are bigger than the whole ownership in the Priest Lake SA.  So 
which is more egregious?
