To clarify, there is access to all of that information. If I thought for a second there was any non-availability of that information I would put in the amendment but the information exists. Any time I have challenged the Department it has always admitted that the information exists. If I accepted the amendment it would only be for the sake of doing so. The information already exists. We want to be open. The Forest Service and the Department are very open, at all times, to giving out that kind of information. I want to send a clear signal to all of the people concerned that the information is readily available.
