the fact that the bulk of the "other forest land" is outside the Agency's jurisdiction, I 

 know of no instance when the U.S. Forest Service used this category as a means to hide 

 a reforestation backlog. 



Mr. Sampson has leveled a serious and improper charge. For this reason, I hope 

 you will include this letter in the official hearing record. Chief Robertson had left and 

 did not hear Mr. Sampson's testimony. For this reason, I hope also that you vidll 

 provide Dale a transcript of Mr. Sampson's testimony so that he can properly respond to 

 this serious charge. 



Respectfully,
