David Francomb White River National Forest Deputy District Ranger Aspen-Sopris Ranger District 970.963.2266 ext. 3136 Cell: 970.274.0889 dfrancomb@fs.fed.us From: Jack Hamm [mailto:hammjch@hughes.net] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2012 9:16 AM To: Francomb, David A -FS Subject: White River National Forest Oil and Gas Leasing Environmental Impact Statement October 21, 2012 Comment regarding the White River National Forest Oil and Gas Leasing Environmental Impact Statement: I urge that you choose Alternative A rather than Alternative C because our Nation needs to be self reliant for our energy needs. All public lands should be available for exploration and production of petroleum, gas, uranium, and coal. These commodities occur where they occur and that should dictate where companies are permitted to explore, and if successful, to produce. Thank you for this opportunity to comment. Jack C.
