The Forest Service is faced with balancing the competing uses of the National Forest and 

 wiU continue receiving public comment on the direction tlie management plan should move 

 as the process for updating and revising the 10 year forest plan continues. It is critically 

 impoitant that anyc»e with an interest in the management of the Black Hills share their 

 comments with the Forest Service. Forums such as this also provide an excellent 

 opportunity for elected officials and the Forest Service to hear from interested citizens so 

 that the full impact of land management decisions can be anticipated as accurately as 

 possible. 



I will continue to work wi& all concerned parties to see to it that the Black Hills are utilized 

 in a manner which promotes a multiple use concept that provides for a sustainable forest
