- 11-27-02 Bush Proposes Less Protection for Forests and Wildlife (CBS News)
"The Bush administration is proposing giving managers of the nation's 155 national forests greater leeway to approve logging and commercial activities with less examination of potential environmental damages."
"The Bush administration proposal also would eliminate specific standards and procedures for maintaining and monitoring wildlife populations that foresters had to comply with, substituting broad goals in their place."
"Democrats accused the administration of attempting to 'undo most of the environmental safeguards that protect our nation's forests.' "
