The National Forest goal is that portion of the national need which the National Forests could reasonably be expected to produce under inten- sified management. The objective is to reach this goal by (a) intensifying the manage- ment of existing stands, including measures to assure stand im- provement and regeneration; (b) growing more and better trees and high-quality sawtimber on the lands that are not producing their full capacity today; (c) reducing losses from disease, insects, and fire; and (d) improving utilization. The 10-year program steps to further items (c) and (d) are covered later under the heading F-437467 By the year 2000 the annual harvest of sawtimber will reach billion board feet. The program proposals for the 10-year period are: 1. Harvesting will be increased toward the goal of full sus- tained-yield cut on all working circles so that annual cut will reach 13 billion board feet by 1972. 2. Harvesting will be developed in a manner that will, to the extent possible, (a) accelerate cutting of stagnant stands, release advance reproduction by removing overstory of old growth, and increase the salvage of dead, dying, and diseased trees; and (b) encourage reasonable distribution of sales among small, medium, and larger operators. >">. Higher standards of regeneration, hazard reduction, sal- vage, and erosion control will be developed and applied on sale areas. 4. Higher standards of sale preparation and sale administra- tion to coordinate timber harvest activities with recreation uses, 10.
