This title may be cited as the "Forest Resources Conservation and Shortage Relief Act of 1990". 16 USC 620. SEC. 488. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) FINDINGS.— The Congress makes the following findings: (1) Timber is essential to the United States. (2) Forests, forest resources, and the forest environment are exhaustible natural resources that require efficient and effective conservation efforts. (3) In the interest of conserving those resources, the United States has set aside millions of acres of otherwise harvestable timberlands in the western United States, representing well over 100,000,000,000 board feet of otherwise harvestable timber. (4) In recent years, administrative, statutory, or judicial action has been taken to set aside an increased amount of otherwise harvestable timberlands for conservation purposes. (5) In the next few months and years, additional amounts of otherwise harvestable timberlands may be set aside for conservation purposes, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the National Forest Management Act of 1976, or other expected statutory, administrative, and judicial actions.
