Mr. Young, chairman of the House Resources Committee, refused to talk to a reporter on Thursday about his remarks last week.
The Radanovich bill passed the House Resources Committee on a 21-to-20 vote last fall but has been stalled ever since.
Representative Rahall will become the Chairman of the House Resources Committee.
Two bills have just been introduced in the House Resources Committee, one by the chairman, Richard Pombo.
He says a bill that passed the House Resources Committee in November "actually strengthens private property safeguards."
He said he would propose the idea this month, when he has been asked to testify before a subcommittee of the House Resources Committee.
From 2003 to 2007, Pombo was the Chairman of the House Resources Committee.
It passed the House Resources Committee last month and could come to a vote in the full House any time.
After last year's election, the Congressional panel that controls forests decided to change its name to the House Resources Committee, dropping the word "natural."
