Mrs. Chenoweth. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Richmond's 

 response was that these numbers were not put together under gen- 

 eral accounting principles that they would recognize, and I think 

 that the standard that is recognized and should be recognized as 

 the scientific standard are those principles under which a CPA 

 would operate. 



Mr. Thomas. We might have some other CPAs as well. 



Mr. Hansen. I thank the gentlelady from Idaho. We have spent 

 one hour on this panel. 



I will turn to my friend from Oregon for any questions he may 

 have, and then let us move to the next panel. 



Mr. COOLEY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Lyons, could I get 

 a comment from you on Judge rejects the limit on the powerboat 

 traffic on this recent court decision? 



Mr. Lyons. I am not familiar with that court decision, Congress- 

 man, so I am afraid I can't comment on it. 



Mr. CoOLEY. Is anybody on your panel familiar with this court 

 decision eliminating use? You are not going to be able to implement 

 this? 



Mr. Richmond. Is that Judge Redman's decision. 



Mr. CooLEY. Yes. 



Mr. Richmond. What Judge Redman decided was that there was 

 no need to implement the plan until I complete this additional 

 analysis that I am required to do, and he has given us a date of 

 June 10th of having that environmental analysis in the public's 

 hzinds, and we intend to meet that. 



Mr. CoOLEY. Is this concerning the policy establishing guidelines 

 for powerboat access to private holdings and the judge believes that 

 the river recreational management plan decision without even view 

 or opportunity for comment from landowners is affected? Is that 

 part of Judge Redman's decision there? 



Mr. Richmond. I am not sure that I recognize that language. 



Mr. CoOLEY. You said that you had a poll that was taken by the 

 University of Idaho, said that people talked about the powerboating 

 being limited. Do you have a copy of that poll? 



Mr. Richmond. Pardon me? 



Mr. CooLEY. Could we get a copy of that poll? 



Mr. Richmond. Yes, sir. 



Mr. CoOLEY. I appreciate that. My last thing is that to the chief 

 here. 



You made a reference that Mrs. Chenoweth made a statement on 

 Section 6 out of context. I want to read you Section 6 right from 

 the law. 



Mr. Thomas. Can I return the compliment? 



Mr. CooLEY. Section 6[a], no provision of the Wild and Scenic 

 River Act [82 Staff 906] nor of this act or any guideline, rules or 

 regulation issued hereunder shall in any way limit, restrict, or con- 

 flict with the present and future use of the water of the Snake 

 River and its tributaries upstream within the boundaries of Hells 

 Canyon National Recreation Area for the beneficial use, whether 

 consumptive or nonconsumptive, now or thereafter existing, includ- 

 ing but not limited to domestic, municipal, stockyard, irrigation, 

 mining, power, or industrial use.
