Wildfires have already burned over 7.3 million acres across the <br />country this year. They release over 1.7 billion tons of CO2 every <br />year, cost billions in property damage, and endanger millions of <br />human lives and animals. <br />The bill (H.R. 8790) as passed by the House will: <br />■ Simplify and expedite environmental reviews for forest <br />management projects <br />• Promote federal, state, tribal and local collaboration <br />• Deter frivolous litigation that delays essential projects <br />• Create a framework for prioritizing treatments in the forests at <br />highest risk of wildfire <br />■ Encourage use of state-of-the-art for federal land managers <br />• Encourage active management to improve the forest safety <br />• Strengthen tools like Good Neighbor Authority and Stewardship <br />Contracting while looking to assess the future of traditional timber <br />sales. The Senate must still take up this legislation. <br />With a successful FY 2024 Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) payment <br />achieved in June and inclusion of another larger PILT payment for FY <br />2025, we are poised for a significant series of successes once SRS is <br />complete. <br />I respectfully ask for your continued support of my efforts on your <br />behalf and have attached a proposed contract and invoice for your <br />consideration. Please call me at 703 898-6603 if you have questions. <br />Sincerely,�— <br />r <br />Robert K Weidner <br />Rkw57(@mac.com <br />
