FYI-for those that don't know it, the chairman of the public lands subcommittee is our own (for several of us anyway) representative ,Tom McClintock (R, 4th, CA). 2200A Douglas Bvd,Suite 240, Roseville, Ca 95661, ph. 916-786,5560, 202-225-2511. His record is mixed on public land issues, although during one of his rare visits here during the last fire season here he said he supported public lands. Anyway, might be worth a phone call expressing you displeasure over Bishops' (R-Ut) direction to OMB. Boy there sure seems to be allot of different groups of all types out there that are opposing this and the other changes like removing LEO authority from the BLM/USFS. I wonder if Trump and our new sec/Interior designate will continue to oppose selling off off the public lands. Most people don't know that while timber sales at best break even, oil,energy and gas sales from public lands are one of the few money makers (a long with recreation, hunting and fishing interests) for the fed and state governments or maybe that's the reason for all this! Ah, we live in interesting times!!!
