Mrs. Chenoweth. Thank you, Mr. Laverty, and I want to thank 

 you and Mr. Richmond and Mr. Kulesza for sitting through the en- 

 tire hearing. 



I want to thank those people who have testified who have come 

 all the way across the country to offer your very fine testimony to 

 this committee. This is an extremely important issue to all of us, 

 and I wish we didn't have to have remedial legislation that would 

 clarify the intent of Congress. I would hope that we could work 

 these things out on the ground, and I would just like to again en- 

 courage the parties to try to continue to work together. I think that 

 accommodation can be made, because as you said, Mr. Laverty, 

 people feel passionately about the resource, and we are Americans 

 from one end of this country to the other, and unfortunately, Hells 

 Canyon attracts a lot of visitors, and how they want to access that 

 canyon was made clear, we feel, in the law, and we look forward 

 to watching you as you develop your management plan. 



Again, I want to thank you very much and I want to again en- 

 courage for the Chairman your continued cooperation with all 

 users. Thank you very much. 



Mr. COOLEY. Madame Chairman. 



Mrs. Chenoweth. Yes. 



Mr. CoOLEY. Before you close, is that $1,200,000,000 gross? 



Mr. Laverty. Yes, it is. That is gross revenue. 



Mr. CoOLEY. And that is for all of our parks throughout the en- 

 tire continental United States? 



Mr. Laverty. That is just the National Forest. 



MR. CoOLEY. Including Alaska and Hawaii? 



Mr. Laverty. The National Forests. 



Mr. CoOLEY. Thank you. I just wanted a clarification. 



Mrs. Chenoweth. Thank you, Mr. Cooley, and with that, this 

 hearing is adjourned. Thank you. 



[Whereupon, at 1:15 p.m., the subcommittee was adjourned and 

 the following was submitted for the record:]
