I wholeheartedly support the idea that there is a balance that can be 

 maintained efficiently and easily here in the Tongass. All we have to 

 do is use a little common sense and we can all go on with our lives. 

 My children who where born in the Tongass can continue to live in the 

 Tongass and their childrens children can live in the Tongass if they 

 so desire too! All, because there will always be a crop to harvest. 



Thank you. 



John E. Blubaum
