Mr. DOOLITTLE. That is not the question I asked. If you take his 

 assumptions and look at it from the point of view of the wage-based 

 income, do you also agree that it is about 70 percent? 



Mr. Stewart. Seventy percent of what then? What are we speak- 

 ing of? 



Mr. DOOLITTLE. Let's see, 70 percent of the local economy is di- 

 rectly driven by the forest resource. 



Mr. Stewart. No, sir; I disagree. 



Mr. DOOLITTLE. What percentage do you think it would be? 



Mr. Stewart. If we are going to talk northern Humboldt County, 

 I would say for the whole north coast, I said earlier, it was around 

 13 percent. And I think for a region, if we just take northern Hum- 

 boldt County, we may get up to 25 percent. But not 70, no ques- 

 tion. 



If you take his model and you run it through, the errors can go 

 upwards of 30, 40, and 50 percent, if you look at actual data.
