THE NATIONAL FOREST TASK FORCE OF NEVADA 



TESTIMONY OF

is the citizens in the state of Nevada. 



Another area of contention is the boundary of those lands 

 in western Nevada. At our January 22, 1986, meeting with the 

 Delegation, Max Peterson and representatives of Governor Bryan 

 and the BLM, we agreed the boundary should be U.S. Highway 39 5. 

 There have been adjustments made in that boundary in this bill 

 to accommodate special interests. This issue should be 

 resolved in a way that best meets the needs of the public and 

 the management of the natural resources. 



I will close by pointing out that rarely has interest in 

 a bill been so high and endorsed by so many in the state of 

 Nevada as this bill. Nevadans were instrumental in seeing the 

 National Forests created in their state, now Nevadans would 

 like to see additional lands added to the National Forests 

 within their state. A prompt passage of this bill will show 

 that you care for Nevada and those lands and natural resources 

 within its boundary. 



Please make this testimony part of the public record of 

 these hearings. Thank you.
