(Note: Below the Federal Register text, which has been carefully reformatted for ease of reading, is a list of acronyms which are used throughout the text, but are sometimes/often not explained. A few pertinent definitions follow the list of acronyms. A thimbleful of Language Deception has been placed in red bold. The reader is asked to ferret out the rest. Lest anyone forget, the real reason for America's national forests: "And now, first and foremost, you can never afford to forget for a moment what is the object of our forest policy. That object is not to preserve forests because they are beautiful, though that is good in itself; nor because they are refuges for the wild creatures of the wilderness, though that, too, is good in itself; but the primary object of our forest policy, as of the land policy of the United States, is the making of prosperous homes. It is part of the traditional policy of home making in our country. Every other consideration comes as secondary. You yourselves have got to keep this practical object before your minds: to remember that a forest which contributes nothing to the wealth, progress, or safety of the country is of no interest to the Government, and should be of little interest to the forester. Your attention must be directed to the preservation of forests, not as an end in itself, but as the means of preserving and increasing the prosperity of the nation." - President Teddy Roosevelt, speaking to the Society of American Foresters in 1903.
