The "RECISIONS" bill is still alive in our nation's government, complete
with the "Timber Salvage" provisions that suspends all environmental laws
(including the endangered species act) to allow for logging in National
Forests.  If you feel strongly on this issue, I urge you to write the
president.

Of course Governor Wilson already suspended California's endangered
species act for five years -- based on the need to repair damage from 
floods this winter.  This suspension applies to the entire state -
regardless of incidence of flooding.  This makes California particularly
vulnerable.
