RE: [RC] National Forest Lands - Jim Holland

Bob, I have no problem with the FS selling off isolated, small,
difficult-to-manage tracts.  This is "business as usual", but the money
received for those tracts is a National Forest asset and IMHO, should not be
used for ANY other purpose other than for the purchase of more appropriate
land for the National Forests.  Misusing them to fund an education program
which is itself probably not financially appropriate considering our current
deficit is a travesty.

Think about this. If our government had left the Social Security program
alone and placed the money in trust instead of using the money for "other"
purposes, it would not only be solvent today, but running a surplus and able
to offer additional benefits. Bush, (when running for his first term) and Al
Gore both promised a "lock box" for Social Security. Looking back at the
fiscal irresponsibility of our country over the years, I doubt if either of
them would have followed through, anyway.  Tragically, our leaders learn
nothing from previous mistakes.

Mel:

If you go to http://www.fs.fed.us/land/staff/spd.html you
will see the size of the parcels range from 0.03 acres to
254.18 acres in size. That makes these isolated pieces of
land very difficult to manage. There is no contiguity in the
slightest and makes for boundary problems as well.

Look closely as to exactly what the total 4522 acres consist
of and who the adjacent owners are.
