Statement:

Ms. Hazelwood. Senator McClure, Senator Symms, I am Betsy Hazelwood. I live in Boise, Idaho. I thank you for the opportunity to address the land use question. believe it is imperative to preserve certain areas of Idaho for wilderness designation, such as the White Clouds, Pioneer Moun tains, Great Burn Kelly Creek, Mallard-Larkin, and Selkirk Crest wilderness areas. The wilderness is our gift to future generations. It certainly isn't reproduceable; and once gone, it is gone forever. I am proud to be from Idaho. I am a Midwestern transplant from St. Louis, Mo. The one thing I value most in Idaho is the wilder I ness areas. I hope we preserve these areas in their natural state for all us, and for all future generations. Thank you.
