 this bill. 



In summary, we feel this bill provides a framework for resolving 

 the wilderness issue in the five national forests. We would like to 

 work with the committees of jurisdiction and the delegation to 

 enact a wilderness bill for the State of Idaho acceptable both to the 

 administration and Congress. 



Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Rose. Thank you very much. 



I want to thank all the members for being here today, our col- 

 league especially for being here. 



And without objection, if there is no other testimony to be given, 

 the hearing stands adjourned. 



Thank you all very much. 



Mr. GOODLATTE. We also have to take up the Mount Pleasant 

 bill. 



Mr. Rose. I will vote and we will come back and work on that. 



Mr. GoODLATTE. I Can do it in 30 seconds. 



I will submit my testimony for the record and thank you for re- 

 porting this bill to the full committee. 



This legislation does have the cosponsorship of every member of 

 this subcommittee and it is still vitally supported by the board of 

 supervisors locally as well as the environmental and the timber 

 companies involved in the area.
