Book excerpt: Excerpt from Implementation of the President's Forest Plan for the Pacific Northwest: Oversight Hearing Before the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Lands of the Committee on Resources, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session The problem that we are having is, I have talked to everybody from all different levels to find out what we can do. The final deci sion, some people say that we cannot remove any wood from lsrs. Some say that it will be up to the forest supervisors to do it. Some say that the regional ecosystem office has the final say about it, or at least it is a screen that it has to go through. Anyway, it is very confusing, who has the final say, but we are working on this. The Medford elm district also has downed timber and they will do whatever we decide on this team to do. I guess, in summary - oh, there was also some suggestion that the ecosystem office in the White House might also be involved in this decision. I suggest that this plan should be clarified and simplified, less prescriptive, letting the local supervisors have flexibility necessary to manage and make it clear that wood production is part of the management. As a local elected official, I have devoted two terms to helping empower and strengthen local communities. There is a great deal of mistrust in a top-down prescriptive system heavy with regulation and laced with punishment. The system of local empowerment I am describing is built on trust and confidence and people making right decisions in local communities with their local forest. Surely this is the system we want for the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
