with its black sea coastline, forested landscape and world—famous wine, it's not hard to see why tourismoming in the once soviet state. but one city there is attracting tourists for a very different reason. in many ways, gori is an unremarkable post—soviet town. if it wasn't for a former resident, it might not be so firmly on the tourist trail. but tourists do come, and in their tens of thousands every year, and today that includes me. in 1939, my great—grandfather, a polish official, was arrested as the soviets invaded under the leadership ofjoseph stalin. like so many other poles, my great—grandfather was sent to a forced labour camp and died, leaving my family to flee, eventually reaching the uk. today in gori, a flower bed lies in the place where a statue to the city's most famous son once towered in front of the government building. but i'd heard some locals want it put back up. so i came here, to the former hometown of stalin, where he remains such an important but controversial figure. for many in the former soviet union, stalin was a great leader. over his 30—year rule, he establ

forests like we'll want to. i think we need to look at everything. >> thank you. chief, when i was first elected we had quite a bit of pine beetle problems in black hills national forest and we ended up allocating a fair amount of state resources to be spent on private lands. as you probably know, the black hills is quite checkered with private inholdings and to the extent that we could not spend dollars on federal land at that time, and maybe it is easier to do now, but to the extent we could not then we tried to do what we could on private land and state-owned land. one of the things that struck me was the time that passed between when a timbering company wanted to do some timbering on federal land and the process they had to go through was quite a few years. as i recall, five years before they could actually get into the land and do some timbering. to the extent we wanted to use timbering as a means of slowing the spread of the pine beetles, by the time we got permits for a contract, the beetles had already been through that land and were moving on. what opportunities do you see in the future for streamlining and to what extent has that already occurred? could you

forests are heavily surrounded by private lands. those of the things we're looking to use in the black hills or any other forest. we are in a position to get the treatments faster than we were then. >> thank you. >> thank you for sharing your time with us, chief. we really appreciate your taking the time out and coming here. our forests are really in transition and we have done such a good job of preventing fires as you describe. we have more intense fires then the pine beetle. infestationrest points to that. the rest of this dates have had to adjust to this new reality and have been under resourced. has the forest service thought about the shared assets? we had a couple large tankers this last year. montana, washington, we shared it with several states that allowing the states a larger may be shared assets and helping, the states would group together and may be put up some of the money and the federal government would put up some of the money and allow there to be an objective prioritization, i think we could agree that as governors being so good working together across partisan lines. the second thing that i t
