    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--

        each proposed forest management change proposed, recognize the 
        multiple uses of the National Forests;
            (2) the Secretary of Agriculture shall phase in to the 
        greatest extent practicable each forest management change that 
        would amend or revise a forest plan to provide for a diversity 
        of plant and animal communities in a particular National Forest 
        or district of the Forest Service; and
            (3) to the extent authorized by law prior to implementation 
        of such changes, the Secretary of Agriculture shall consider 
        such factors as, economic consequences faced by affected 
        communities, the impact on state and local revenues, and the 
        agency's financial resources which are available for 
        implementation.
