RIDER VOTE IN SENATE POSSIBLE
 
     To follow up on the very close House vote on the
Furse/Porter amendment to halt the Clearcut Logging Rider, efforts
are underway for a similar vote in the Senate.  This would come as
an amendment to the Senate Interior Appropriations bill.  We can
expect the Senate to take up the Interior Appropriations bill as early
as Mid-July.  
 
     Please contact the following Senators, and urge them to
support an effort to limit funding for timber sales under the logging
rider in the Senate Interior Appropriations Bill.  The first group of
Western Senators are who need to champion this effort and to
speak out on the Senate floor.  The second grouping of Senators
who voted against the Murray amendment need to be turned
around.  Without at least five of their votes, we cannot win this
vote to halt the rider:
