That expectation is based on WWPA's forecast of 1.4 million housing starts during this year. Last year, only 1.07 million units were constructed.

7.22 billion in 1982. Materials handling should account for 3.56 billion -up from 3.2$4 billion last year, and Western lumber exports should reach 1.70 billion as compared to 1.64 billion last year.
