                IMMEDIATE ATTENTION NEEDED!!!!
 
 
             Support the Porter/Furse Amendment 
           to End the Rescission's Logging Rider 
           to Protect Our Ancient Forest Heritage 
               and Restore Environmental Laws 
                              
 
June 18, 1996
 
Please help us gain support for the Porter/Furse amendment to the
FY 1997 Interior appropriations bill that will end the Timber Salvage
Rider (Public Law 104-19).  The vote is expected tomorrow, so we
need some fast action to generate a wave of phone calls.
 
REPEAL THE RIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The Porter/Furse amendment would restore our nation's
environmental laws such as the Clean Water Act, the National
Forest Management Act, and the Endangered Species which protect
our nation's forest heritage and citizens downstream.  
 
The amendment would also help put a stop to the rampant
clearcutting in the Pacific Northwest's Ancient Forests that was
opened up by the rider.
 
The amendment will also save the taxpayers millions by stopping
the giveaway of our National Forests at fire sale prices.  The
Congressional Research Service estimates that salvage timber sales
under rider will lose $50 million this year.  Other significant losses,
such as declining fisheries due to habitat degradation, landslides and
flooding due to clearcutting and roadbuilding, and lost recreational
opportunities can also be avoided by supporting this amendment.
 
On behalf of the millions of Americans who care about and visit
their public lands each year, we seek to protect our National Forests
and restore our nation's hard fought environmental laws, we urge
you to support the Porter/Furse amendment.
 
PLEASE CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW! (202) 225-3121
AND AS MANY OF THE SWING VOTES ON THE ENCLOSED
LIST AS POSSIBLE.  THE VOTE IS EXPECTED TOMORROW.
