Dicho - well said...You, myself and President Bush are in agreement...score is now 4-2...

A Summary of the President's Plan condenced by Gargoyle from:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/healthyforests/toc.html

1. Improve fuel treatments and restoration projects.

2.Exempt some fuel reduction and restoration projects nationwide from judicial review reducing appeals and lawsuits of salvage timber sales.

3. Establish long-term "stewardship contracts.

It focuses almost exclusively on reducing "needless red tape and lawsuits" lawsuits sponsored by a few self-proclaimed "environmentalist groups."

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
