[lfalen]

While I am opposed to the exchange because I do not think it would be in the best interest of Latah county residents,I am also against the federal government acquiring any more land. They have to much already.

> The Locksa Exchange is not a new issue.  It has been here for at least two years.  Hundreds of citizens have turned out to several different meetings to oppose it; it has been a very hot issue.  Contrary to Bouma's so-called conservative/anti-federal stance, many loggers and others who ordinarily are inclined to be ant-federal are strongly in favor of the federal government finding a way to purchase the upper Locksa lands.
