The House of Representatives’ Committee on Public Works has recommended doubling the authorized development of roads and trails in a, massive effort to regain momentum in construction of mutliple purpose access roads in National Forests. The decision was made following a major campaign spearheaded by Congressman Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson of the Second ’ District and Representative Don Clausen of the first district. Currently some $85,000,000 in forest road and trail construction is authorized by Con-' gress, although a long range Program for National Forests call for annual authorizations of $170, 000,000 in order-to meet the nation’s needs. The House Public Works Committee, in recommending the Federal Aid Highway Act, recommended funding at this level during fiscal years 1968 and 1969, “While we have been expanding the program from year to year,” commented the two California Congressmen, “it has not kept pace with the needs of the nation as set forth in the Program for National Forests.

At that time the forest roadand trail authorization was $27 million per year. “We in the Second Congressional District and throughout California are particularly concerned that our forest resources be developed fully so as to contribute a full share toward the national economy,” Congressman Johnson had told the Committee in arguing for the increase in road construction authorization, He pointed out that these roads, built tonational forest standards, are traveled heavily by all users of the National Forests--the recreationist, the timber opera_ tor, the miner, the livestock owner, and all others who go to our forests, “Without adequate access, our people cannot enjoy the benefits of these natural resources, " Congressinan Johnson said, “and the economy of the areas will wither and die, “ Multiple uses of the National Forests returned to the Federal Treasury a total of $257,500, 000 in 1965 in addition to contributing to the development -of county roads and schools in forest regions, Furthermore, the national forests attracted a total of nearly 14 million visitor days of use during 1965, the Congressinan pointed out and adequate access is critical for this expanding need, Is Completed planned: improvements with Hammill, fair board president, Henry Magonigal and vicepresident, Jack Bixler.
