  Mr. LOTT (for himself, Mr. Breaux, Mr. Cochran, Mr. Heflin, Mr.

                              S. Res. 285

       It is the Sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Secretary of Agriculture shall, in connection with 
     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.
