1. Environmental News Network: "Road Building to be Allowed on National Forest 'Roadless' Areas"
2. Washington Post: "New Rule Opens National Forest to Roads"
3. Washington Post: "House Panel Receives Detailed Spending Plan for '06"
4. Washington Post: "In Kansas, a Sharp Debate on Evolution"
5. Washington Post: "Tom DeLay Calls for Greater Humility"
6. National Geographic Online: "Wild Horses Sold by U.S. Agency Sent to Slaughter"
