THE NATIONAL FOREST TASK FORCE OF NEVADA

June 24, 1987 



Chairman 



Subcommittee on Public Lands 



Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 



c/o Senator Chic Hecht 



U.S. Senate 



Washington, D.C. 20510 



Dear Mr. Chairman: 



I want to express my thanks for giving Nevadans a 

 change to be heard today on S 59. Because of other 

 commitments and the relatively short notice of this 

 hearing, I cannot be here personally today. But many from 

 Nevada are here in spirit with me and want to express their 

 strong support of S 59. 



This Bill has the support of thousands throughout 

 Nevada who opposed the declassification and transfer to the 

 BLM of Nevada's national forests as a part of the National 

 Interchange legislation of the 99th Congress. Nevadans 

 instead felt that their national forests should be 

 increased. For that reason, our Congressional Delegation 

 introduced S 2698 and HR 5277 of the 99th Congress, and 

 have introduced S 59 and HR 267 of this Congress. 



S 59 would add to the Humboldt and Toiyabe National 

 Forests somewhat over 500,000 acres of adjacent and 

 abutting land which are national forest in character and 

 would enjoy cost effective management as a part of adjacent 

 national forest holdings. 



The appropriateness of this proposed transfer to the 

 national forests was the subject of comprehensive 

 discussion and agreement on January 22, 1986 here in 

 Washington, D.C. by our three Co-Chairmen Fred Gibson, Sue 

 Wagner and myself, James Parker, Assistant Director of the 

 BLM, Max Peterson, Chief of the U.S. Forest Service, and 

 our Congressional Delegation, then Senators Paul Laxalt and 

 Chic Hecht, and Congressman Barbara Vucanovich and Harry Reid.
