Summary:

Discusses issues relating to the Congressional hearing on the controversial "Taxol Agreements" between the Forest Service (FS) and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) and between BMS and the BLM, both of which allow BMS to harvest yew trees on Federal lands in the Pacific Northwest for Taxol, an anti-cancer drug. Analyzes whether FS and BLM have legal authority to authorize an agreement in which Federal resources are disposed of at no charge to a commercial enterprise.
