I am convinced that the consolidation of the Forest Service will not increase its efficiency in forestry management, rather it will hinder it, Bennett said. WASHINGTON now effect the proposed changes would have on management of the Foiest Service on Morale, and on research.

Tanner has not ruled out arson as a possible cause. A Tanner said the suspect has been able to account for all of his time up to the blaze, and offered collaboration. "at this time we don't have a suspect. If it's arson theyll have to dig deeper into it." Tanner said today. It's so hot they (investigators from Tanner's office) couldn't get into the area where the fire started, it's still smoking. "Maybe theyll get in there today, since it's cooler now." said investigators will smantle and inspect electric otirs from compressors and He the Ogden . The subcommittee also heard from Floyd former regional forester at Ogden, 'critical' after fall fire in Right now we just don't have a firm lead, he said. Swinton said he does not believe Rich County is responsible for. the lack of fire protection in the area. It is a poor county, he said.

Brian Swinton. president of Sweetwater Inc., said the fire happened just a month before a fire control system at the resort was to have become fully operational.

Iverson presented a long statement Wyoming, Neada. and part of California, was Great Basin country, an area of nigh summer temperatures, moderate winter cold, and slight precipitation, with soil conditions generally similar throughout the region. The natural conditions have created groupings of similar plant types which lend themselves to the same general management techniques. The standard region reorganization would split the present region among three new management divisions and dilute the effectiveness of the present team of experts based at Ogden. r "I understand how a planner in an can feel good about setting up a uniform pattern and forcing all federal agencies to conform," Bennett said, "But the Forest Sendee is an operating agency related to the management of large land areas which cannot be moved or readjusted to fit any preconceived pattern."
