Johnson has called on the House of Representatives to increase authorizations for forest road and trail development. "Road and trail work is the _keystone to the new devel. Opment program for national forests,” Congressman "Any reduction in this area will delay progress in the overall development of our national forests." Testifying before the roads . subcommittee of the House committee on public works, Congressman Johnson urged that the basic road and highway authorization bill now before that committee be amended to provide substantial increases in the forest road and trail authorizations. The bill now provides for continuation of $40 ,000, 000 a year for development of forest roads and trails. Representative Johnson advyocates a three year program during which the annual authorizations wouldrange from $50, 000, 000 next year to $85,000, 000 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1964, CongressmanJohnson said he is rallying the western states representatives to this cause for which he has received the support of PresidentJohn F. Kennedy. Two years ago, when it appeared Congress might retain authorization levels of $30,000, 000 which would have crippled the forest service development program, CongressmanJohnson led a similar fight which resulted in the existing $40, 000, 000 authorizations, : However, citing the de' velopment program for national forests submitted to the Congress by President Kennedy, Representative Johnson said new studies of natural resource needs indicated even this was grossly inadequate, "Recreation use of our forests is booming. There is a tremendous demand for our forest products,” Congressman Johnson said. "These, inturn, create a great need for ‘an adequate multiple purpose road system. " Congressman Johnson listed six "immediate benefits" which would result from implementation of the development program: a. Receipts to the treasury will increase to about $230 million annually by the time the program is completed. This is more than double current receipts. b. Increased payments to the states from the receipts coupled with a higher level of expenditures for roads and fire control in the national forests will greatly strengthen local governmental units and local economies. c. The capital value of the timber, forage, and lands of the national. forest system will be increased a-~bout $2 billion. d, The program will provide direct employment for about 32,750 workers at its peak. Much of this will be in areas of labor surplus and low ruralincome. Of the 186 million acres of land administered by the forest service, 80 million acres are in such areas, e. Thetimber harvest will rise to about 13 billion feet of saw timber in the final year of the program. This WILLMAR OPEN HOUSE SEE ane Johnson Seeks Forest Trails . amount.of timber will have a consumer value of over $4 billion and provide 800, 000 man-years of work during the year. This is about twice the current levels. f. Recreation visits will rise to 195 million annually by 1972. The business generated by these visits will have a value to the national economy of more than $1. 5 billion. Congressman Johnson said that any authorizations below those which he advocated would make it necessary for buyers of timber to do a greater amount of work, which would reduce sharply the receipts to the federal and local government treasuries. "Many important fire control and recreation roads would be deferred or just not built,” He testified, “Accessibility is the key to the protection of the vitally important national forests and their watersheds from fire and destructive pests. Accessibility is the absolute key to meeting accelerated requirements for intensified use of recreation resources, "This accessibility can only be provided through an accelerated roads and trails program."
