ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND JUDICIAL PROCESS

Thought this might depress you all a bit.
**********************************************************************

  The House and Senate have passed the so-called Gorton Rider to the
Recission bill. The rider requires the US Forest Service to sell SIX
BILLION BOARD FEET of timber off our national forests in the next two years
and SUSPENDS ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND JUDICIAL PROCESS with
regards to the sales.

This bill will mean the end of the last roadless areas throughout the
west, particularly in the Rocky Mountain states and the likely end to
ancient forests in the Pacific Northwest with some exceptions.

The bill was written by Slade Gorton of Washington state, a timber
industry hack who admited taking $34,000 in campaign donations from the
timber industry last year.

HELP HELP HELP:

1 The last hope is a veto from President Clinton. Please write
Clinton
and ask him to veto the Recision Bill because of the forest killing
amendment. Short messages are best. E mail and US mail and even
phone calls
to the White House are all urgently needed. This is the most important
forest issue of the last two decades.
   E mail address = president@whitehouse.gov
   (202) 456-1111
   1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington D.C. 20510

2 Call your representative and ask them to tell Clinton to veto the
Recission bill unless the forest killer amendment is stripped from it.

Other state residents, capitol switchboard = 202 225 3121.

3 write letters to the editor and call your newspaper urging them to write
an editorial on the subject soon. If you want more detail contact me or
call 202 686-5888.

Please help now. This is not business as usual. Please forward this
message widely. Please act. We need new voices in the fight for
our common survival.
