We have a forest health program to address the problem of insects. of diseases. of the many things that create problems for our national forests. and we have recognized also the Presidents Northwest Forest Plan. which was the result of a compromise that President Clinton and Vice President Gore worked out some years ago. and we have supported that with significant dollars and language. We often do not think of wildlife refuges necessarily in terms of visitors. but they are vital to the preservation of this Nations wildlife resources. We have increased funding for the refugee system by $42 million. We have synificantly increased funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. $239 million. and I think there are many other good features in this bill. and I hope that our colleagues will. all of them. take a look at it between now and the time we go to final passage and recognize that in supporting this they are supporting a very responsible and a very productive approach to the challenges that confront the Subcommittee on Interior.
