Statement:
Ms. Cantwell-Gab. Good afternoon, Senator. My name is Kim Cantwell-Gab and I am a Boise resident. For the hearing record I would like to state that I am a strong supporter of wilderness areas. Also, I would like it known that I support the Idaho endangered wilderness core. At this time I don't believe the areas in question have been fully researched and surveyed enough. So for this time I would like to say that the usage of this land in the long-term decision should not be made. The areas that I wanted to talk about are covered in my written testimony. I also want you to know that I will be supporting the conserva tionist's alternative which will be presented in October 1983. I moved to Idaho approximately 3 or 4 years ago from a State that did not have any access to wilderness areas. And my family and I have found that we definitely enjoy the quality of life that we have found here in Idaho and we enjoy the solitude and beauty that we see here and I would definitely hate to see the things happen in Idaho that I saw happen in the other States I was from. And I thank you for letting me express my opinions.
