!!!!!LOGGING RIDER ALERT!!!!!

Hey, Forest activists!  I know there's been a flurry of
alerts on forestry issues in the last two weeks, but
what can I say--it's busy times in DC!  The good news
is that this session of Congress is almost done.  The
bad news is that many decisions will be made in
Congress in the next two or three days.

We have a fighting chance to repeal the logging rider
this week.  But we need your help!

WE URGENTLY NEED PHONE CALLS TO LEON PANETTA

BACKGROUND:

Congress has until the end of this week to repeal or
defund the logging rider.  President Clinton has said
that he wants Congress to send him legislation that
will repeal the logging rider.

SITUATION:

Repealing the rider has made it to the short list of
items being negotiated by the White House and Congress.
We have an opportunity to make sure that the President
stands by his word and insists on repeal of the rider.

ACTION:

Please call Leon Panetta, President Clinton's Chief of
Staff, ASAP!  Tell his comment line that you appreciate
the President's efforts to have this terrible legislation
repealed.  Go on to say that you are urging Mr. Panetta to
insist that the President will not sign an appropriations
bill that doesn't include repeal of the rider.

Phone:  202-456-6797

Fax:   202-456-2883

Thanks for your help during this difficult legislative
session!

Any questions,etc:  Bill Corcoran 213-383-2438
