President Bush, according to this article is planning to reduce logging restrictions and enviornmental reviews in national forests. The reason, according to his administration, is to reduce the risk of forest fires. Does anyone actually believe that this is the real reason? Bush has been talking about allowing logging since he ran for office, pandering to logging industry lobbyists who paid him big bucks during his campaign. In spite of his claims, allowing logging is not better for the environment, it's worse.
