M.S.
We need this bill to perserve foreign habitats and to help the timber bussiness in the United States where the laws are inforced ,in the global market.

I agree the bill should pass, however amendments are needed. I'm confused on how they plan to keep track of what's legal and illegal timber. All timber should be legal but how can we track this?

I see this Bill as extremely harmful to the timber industry of the United States. The regulatory and compliance actions that will be needed by numerous companies within the United States to comply with this Bill would be counter productive.
