                           BY RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
                                                                        
  1                                   A JOINT MEMORIAL
  2    TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THE CHIEF OF THE UNITED  STATES  FOREST
  3        SERVICE, THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF LAND
  4        MANAGEMENT,  THE  SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES
  5        IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED, AND TO THE  CONGRESSIONAL  DELEGATION  REPRESENTING
  6        THE STATE OF IDAHO IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
                                                                        
  7        We,  your Memorialists, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the
  8    State of Idaho assembled in the First Regular Session of the Fifty-sixth Idaho
  9    Legislature, do hereby respectfully represent that:
                                                                        
 10        WHEREAS, in 1996 the Idaho State Board of Land Commissioners (Land  Board)
 11    appointed the original Federal Lands Task Force which was charged with examin-
 12    ing  federal land management issues in Idaho and analyzing alternative manage-
 13    ment ideas on federal lands within the state of Idaho; and
 14        WHEREAS, in July 1998, the task force  recommended  development  of  pilot
 15    projects to test different types of management approaches; and
 16        WHEREAS,  the Land Board appointed a working group made up of a wide vari-
 17    ety of viewpoints, experience and geographical balance, along with a coordina-
 18    tor to further develop the ideas for alternative management  scenarios  recom-
 19    mended by the Federal Lands Task Force in their report; and
 20        WHEREAS,  the  working  group  developed  a  core  set of principles which
 21    included local involvement and extensive public comment, a balanced, workable,
 22    ecosystem-based approach to environmental management that follows  environmen-
 23    tal  law, creating a genuine partnership with the United States Forest Service
 24    and that the working group would not espouse state, local or private ownership
 25    of federal lands; and
 26        WHEREAS, the working group recommended to the Idaho Land Board five  proj-
 27    ects  encompassing  just under 11 million acres of federal land in Idaho, most
 28    of which is managed by the United States Forest Service; and
 29        WHEREAS, all the pilot projects conform to  environmental  statutes  while
 30    offering a new approach to environmental management of federal lands that will
 31    improve  forest  and  rangeland health, improve habitat for fish and wildlife,
 32    restore  ecosystem  health,  provide  stability  for  rural  communities   and
 33    increased  revenues for Idaho's school children and natural resource dependent
 34    counties; and
 35        WHEREAS, the Idaho Land Board has opened a public comment  period  through
 36    February 1, 2001.
 37        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session
 38    of  the Fifty-sixth Idaho Legislature, the Senate and the House of Representa-
 39    tives concurring therein, that we respectfully request that the United  States
 40    Congress  enact  legislation enacting pilot projects such as those recommended
 41    in the report submitted to the Idaho Board  of  Land  Commissioners  entitled,
 42    "Breaking the Gridlock: Federal Lands Pilot Projects in Idaho."
 43        BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED  that the Secretary of the Senate be, and she is
 44    hereby authorized and directed to forward a copy of this Memorial to the Pres-
