What I find interesting is the discrepancy in the letters and their presentation (see below). They supposedly both represent Chairman Grijalva’s (D-AZ) text in his letter. Letter one below was copied from an “environmentalist” friendly site and the second letter below comes from a release to the BRC. What should one believe?? Personally, I feel Congressman Grijalva is not acting in our interest and slimey.

Letter 1 from an “environmental” friendly site:
The text of Chairman Grijalva's letter can be seen below. The language was revised on 1/19/2010 to focus on prohibiting activities that have a significant impact on the Wilderness qualities of the recommended areas.
Support America's Last Wilderness Lands

Dear Colleague,
America’s wilderness quality land is a precious resource that continues to vanish at a rapid pace. I am writing to request your support for the attached letter to Chief Tidwell calling on him to administratively protect those lands that the Forest Service has recommended for wilderness designation until Congress can act.
The National Forest System contains over 60 million acres of wilderness quality land managed by the United States Forest Service. As a part of its regular planning process, the agency reviews these lands for their wilderness character and recommends to Congress some of these lands for wilderness designation.
To date, the agency has recommended that Congress designate over three million acres of national forest wilderness nationwide. Stretching from Alaska to Vermont, these lands are truly the crown jewels of the National Forest System and are pending Congressional action.
As Congress considers these areas, is imperative that the Forest Service refrain from taking actions that may undermine Congress from acting on the agency’s recommendations. Unfortunately, agency guidelines currently allow for a wide array of non-conforming uses within their own recommended wilderness areas. These uses—which include widespread use of motorized vehicles—undermine the agency’s recommendations, and may impede Congressional action.
A new direction is needed that ensures that wilderness caliber lands that have received an agency recommendation are properly managed to maintain their wilderness character and values until Congress can act. Please join me in urging Forest Service Chief Tidwell do adopt such a policy.
Sincerely,
Raúl M. Grijalva

Letter 2 from BRC:
Text of Chairman Grijalva's Letter to Forest Service Chief Tidwell
January XX, 2010
The Honorable Tom Tidwell, Chief
United States Forest Service
1400 Independence Ave., SW
Washington, D.C. 20250

Dear Chief Tidwell:
We appreciate your leadership and commitment to the United States Forest Service wilderness program, and are writing to call your attention to a pressing issue regarding the management of areas the agency has recommended for wilderness designation.
As you know, currently pending before Congress are over three million acres of forest lands which the Forest Service has recommended as wilderness. As Congress deliberates on whether to enact these proposals, it is essential that the Forest Service refrain from taking actions that may undermine Congress from acting on the agency’s recommendations.
We are concerned that the agency’s management of some of these areas may be adversely impacting their wilderness character, while making wilderness designation more difficult. In particular, we are concerned about the agency’s continued authorization of activities that are disallowed in wilderness areas, including the use of motorized vehicles.
The agency is currently undertaking an important nationwide effort to designate routes of travel for motorized vehicles. The scope of this effort underscores the need to apply consistent guidance in managing agency-recommended wilderness lands.
We ask that you take immediate steps to preserve the Congressional prerogative to designate wilderness by issuing national guidance on the management of agency-recommended wilderness. This guidance should prohibit the authorization of activities, such as use of motorized vehicles, that adversely affect the wilderness qualities of the recommended areas to a significant degree.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
