                  FOREST SERVICE IN TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA

  (Mr. SCHWEIKERT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCHWEIKERT. How many of us have heard of a little town called 
Tombstone? It's popped up in movies, American folklore. Guess what? The 
Forest Service seems hell-bent on ending its existence. This town is 
older than my State. Its water rights are older than my State. Yet the 
Forest Service is restricting the town from 87 percent of its water 
supply because there's Forest Service land around Tombstone.
  This picture isn't a picture of a bunch of cowboys out having fun. 
They're not allowed to take a little Bobcat up the mountainside to get 
the springs to fix their water, so you have to go up by hand up a 
mountainside to remove the boulders.
  Is there an adult in the Forest Service who has a lick of sense?
