The committee agreed that the Departments of Agriculture and Interior should initiate immediate programs to increase their annual timber harvest in line with good management practices.
They also supported a recommendation calling for immediate expanded Congressional authorizations and appropriations to improve forest management policies and practices on federal timber lands.
