Mr. DeFazio. If you could briefly summarize, that is a little more 

 than five minutes. 



Mr. Cassidy. Probably the most important thing is accountabil- 

 ity. Accountability, whether it be in revising grazing allotments, 

 but accountability also in ensuring the enforceability of land man- 

 agement practice standards designed to protect salmon. 



It is my opinion that after several years of working with the 

 agencies, that we will only really achieve full protection of salmon 

 when district rangers and forest supervisors are held as account- 

 able to protect salmon habitat and to restore salmon habitat as 

 they are to meeting timber targets. 



[Prepared statement of Mr. Cassidy follows:]
