Elizabeth asked President Clinton how he expected to resolve the situation after giving him her school yearbook in which she had highlighted names of all students whose parents will lose their jobs because of the spotted owl.

Still, the building codes allow it and most buyers don't know the difference. "I genuinely think the chief building official in Honolulu is in favor of having material up to snuff as far as AWPA standards, to get the perceived liability offhis shoulders," said Dilbeck. "And I think the treaters would like to conform to industry standards. I think they're going to have to change to salvage their marketplace."
