From the Paper:
"Balancing economic concerns with environmental ones is a complex task. The U.S. Forest Service, founded under Theodore Roosevelt, has been proud of its professional, utilitarian brand of conservatism. Along with controlling the forests for varied recreational purposes, its main mission has been to manage timber in 120 national forests.. Many now question this mission. Indeed, according to the Clinton Administration, the central issue regarding this agency is whether it has become so tied to the mission of harvesting wood that it is, in effect, a federal subsidiary of the timber industry, and if this is true, how far it should go in balancing timber with other interests..Environmentalists and the timber industry, in a continuing war over logging on millions of acres of ancient forests on federal land, have joined the debate about the agency's future."
