7 Idaho Legislature, do hereby respectfully represent that:
8 WHEREAS, Idaho is a state which has sixty-six percent of its landmass con-
9 trolled by the federal government; and
10 WHEREAS, access to Idaho's public lands is a vital part of Idaho's natural
11 resource economy as well as an important part of our citizens heritage, recre-
12 ation and enjoyment; and
13 WHEREAS, Idaho currently has 4,081,315 acres of wilderness which is suffi-
14 cient; and
15 WHEREAS, President Clinton has proposed to establish another nine million
16 acres of defacto wilderness in Idaho by declaring certain public lands in the
17 state to be roadless; and
18 WHEREAS, Idaho Governor Dirk Kempthorne requested a longer comment period
19 for Idaho citizens to study and comment on the roadless plan and his request
20 was summarily denied by the United States Forest Service; and
21 WHEREAS, the state of Idaho has been compelled to initiate a lawsuit to
22 protect its interests in Idaho land designated as public; and
23 WHEREAS, roadless areas prevent access to the forests of Idaho and nega-
24 tively affect forest health by preventing intervention in disease, insect
25 infestations and fire suppression.
26 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second Regular Ses-
27 sion of the Fifty-fifth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and
28 the Senate concurring therein, that the Congress of the United States is urged
29 to pass legislation negating any Presidential Executive Order President
30 Clinton may issue regarding additional defacto wilderness and instructing the
31 United States Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to maintain
32 roads and access into the public lands in Idaho.
33 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the House of Representa-
