Collins believes that the government has not properly protected the timber and is selling it at an undervalued price without reserving mineral rights. He requests that the sale be postponed indefinitely for further investigation and adjustment. Senator Thomas assures Collins that he will do what he can to help.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
