(Bizz) Johnson has urges Congress to embark upon a major effort to reforest the nation's public lands. "It has been estimated that there are five million acres of National Forest lands in need of seeding and planting today," Congressman Johnson declared in-a statement submitted to the House of Representatives’ Forestry Subcommittee, "if we are to catch up and subsequently keep up with the reforestation requirements of our national forests." Throughout the years, reforestation programs have been tied directly to the sale of timber produced on national forest lands, a policy which Congressman Johnson labelled as inadequate and unwise. "You can only pick up the pace of reforestation by increasing the harvest of timber which increases the need for reforestation. This is a vicious cycle under which there is no way we can catch up." Congressman Johnson’ suggested as a "realistic approach" to the problem, the utilization of funds collected by import duties on timber. This amounts to approximately $62 million a year.
