. Development program for the national forests. Forest reserves. Adequate housing and service facilities for field personnel. Program Benefits Under the proposed program, management and utilization of Na- tional Forest resources will keep pace with population growth and national economic development and needs. Many of the benefits from the program for the 10-year period will carry over or will be delayed until after the end of the period. In- vestments in such measures as roadbuilding, tree planting, range re- seeding, water conservation, recreation, and other improvements pro- posed in the initial period are geared not only to short-term needs, but also to the longer range objectives of meeting expected demands on the National Forest System during the remainder of the century. Benefits include direct financial revenues, secondary benefits, and intangible values. Direct financial revenues from the National Forest System will rise to about 230 million dollars annually by the time the 10-year conserva- tion program is completed, or nearly double current receipts. These receipts will continue to exceed annual operating expenses of the pro- gram. On the current basis of fees for uses and products, over 90 percent of revenues will continue to come from the sale of standing timber. By the year 2000, National Forest timber sales should reach 21 billion board feet of sawtimber worth 350 million dollars at 1960 prices. Payments from National Forest revenues for county schools and roads will increase correspondingly. These increased payments, cou- pled with a higher level of National Forest expenditures for roads and 22.
