So, if they are going to cut 280 million acres in NFs and NPs and NFs have
only 193 million acres in toto, much of which already is cut and cannot be
cut anytime soon, doesn't that imply that much, much more than 87 million
acres will have to be cut from NPs? This is starting to sound like the
disaster that occurred in Canada years ago in which they signed a contract
for (I believe ) an enormous amount of timber to go to a Japanese or
Chinese company, so they had to log some national parks? I may not have all
of the details right (it has been a very long time since I read about
this), but my memory is that it became a disaster.
