great nation.  We give You praise for the grace and                            
abundant provision that You have entrusted to us.                              
We pray that You will help us as stewards to                                   
properly manage and develop all the resources that

word: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and                               
lean not on your own understanding; in all your                                
ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your                                    
paths straight." (Prov. 3:5,6)                                                 
                                                                               
Lord help us to remember that while we can count                              
the seeds in an apple You can count the apples in                              
a seed; help us to rely more completely on You.                                
                                                                               
Lord we pray that Your presence, Your wisdom and                              
Your grace will be evident in this place today, in

                                      for

The Senate Resources Committee recognizes the need for increased               
flexibility for the Commissioner of Natural Resources to respond to            
forest health situations on state forest lands.  House Bill 121                
provides that flexibility by allowing salvage timber sales to be               
harvested without the listing on two consecutive five-year schedules           
of timber sales currently required by AS 38.05.113.  The Senate                
Resources Committee intends that House Bill 121 be used to offer               
salvage sales of state timber at the discretion of the commissioner            
under the commissioner's responsibility to manage state forest lands           
for wise use in accordance with multiple use and sustained yield               
principles.                                                                    
                                                                               
The Senate Resources Committee expects the Division of Forestry to             
design salvage timber sales in a manner consistent with the purposes           
of House Bill 121, and in a manner clearly designed to prevent                 
significant loss of economic value of Alaska's forest resources as set         
forth in House Bill 121.  The Senate Resources Committee intends               
that taking of healthy  green timber during a salvage harvest will be

minimized to the degree consistent with normal forestry practices and          
the Alaska Forest Resources and Practices Act.  With respect to land           
being cleared for conversion to nonforest uses, the Senate Resources           
Committee recognizes that these limitations would not apply.  All              
other salvage timber sales will comply with the Alaska Forest                  
Resources and Practices Act.
