  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Tom Troxel, 
the Director of the Intermountain Forest Industry Association. Mr. 
Troxel has demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to the timber 
industry and to the health and well-being of forests across the nation. 
His tireless efforts on issues related to forestry, forest health and 
timber practices have gone far to promote sound practices, to level the 
playing field with the federal government and to better our 
environment. Mr. Troxel's high regard for our forested lands and the 
people that rely on them resonates with dedication and enthusiasm. Mr. 
Speaker, I commend Tom Troxel for all his efforts, and I look forward 
to working with him in the future.
