Clinton Submits Timber Plan

Although both the tinber industry and environmentalists are expected to figbt it in court, a new plan fm balancing environmental protection and logging in the Pacific Northwest could lead to resumption of timber sales by AugusL

Submitted to Judge Dwyer in Oregon, the plan is different only in a few technical respects. The changes aren't expected to affect the amount of timber cut and would affect wildlife only marginally, the Interior Department

Hahn, Merlo Make Top Bucks

T. Marshall Hahn, Jr., retired chairman and ceo at Georgia-Pacific, placed 10th on Business Weet's list of 1993's top-paid chief executives, collecting $13,680,000, tp 393Vo from 1992.

Hahn earned salary and bonus of $12,243,0N (including $9.7 million tax reimbursement paid in connection with his Dec. 2 retirement) plus long tenn compensation of $1,437,000. He made $20,382,000 in 1991-93 while company shareholders received $197 for each $100 invested.

Harry A. Merlo, Louisiana-Pacific said. If the plan is approved, it will be implemented within the month.

At the same time the Plan was submitted by the Clinton Administration, the U.S. Forest Service canceled a 50-year contract with Alaska Pulp Corp. for cutting timber in southeastern Alaska's Tongass National Forest. Environmentalists have long protested this deal which was intended to provide mill jobs in Alaska. Alaska Pulp closed a mill in Sitka last year, laying off400 people.

Radiata Pine Gonference

In Las Vegas, Nv., June 7 chairman and ceo, was in 14th place with 1993 salary and bonus of $745,000, $11,306,000 long term compensation , and $12,051,000 total pay. In addition, he holds stock options yet to be exercised werth $42,075,000. His 1991-93 salary was $15,167,000 while stockholders received $465 for $100 invested.

Grant Caruthers, president, New Zealand Timber Industry Federation, will discuss "The United States Lumber Market - Wby Source From New Zealand?" in the keynote address at a USA In-Market Conference June 7.

A. D. "Pete" Correll, present Georgia-Pacific chairman and ceo, had 1993 salary and bonus of $2,028,000, up 857o from 1992, and long term compensation of $1,369,000. His total salary from l99L-93 was $6,220,000.

Tbe meeting at Alexis Park Resort, Las Vegas, Nv., will be divided into three sections. The first will introduce market analysts, N.Z. exporters and customers discussing radiata pine markets, statistical background, influences, expectations and potential in tbe U.S.

In the second session, a panel of U.S. importers and end users will address quality, shipping and Promotion issues. An open forum will define action and commibnent required to close the gap between achievements and potential in the third session.

Updated Lumber Standard

An updated voluntary lumber product standard approved by the American Lumber Standard Committee has been published by the U.S. Departmentof Commerce.

PS 20-94 supersedes the previous 1970 standard with standard lumber size requirements for developing and coordinating lumber grades, procedures for assigning lumber design values, accreditation and certification to assure users of a uniform industrywide lumber grademarking and inspection system, a standard definition for kiln drying and metric equivalent sizes added to the conventional measurement tables.

Ganadian Dury Challenged

An extraordinary challenge to aruling which would riemove the countervailing duty on Canadian lumber imported into the U.S. has been fonnally requested by the united States.

Following the free trade agreement 0enns, the case will be heard by one

U.S. and one Canadian judge appolnted by the respective countries and a third judge selected by the appointed members. A decision is expected in late June at the earliest.

A ruling favorable to Canada will likely end any further U.S. appeals to keep the duty in place.

Hampton Buys Atabama Mills

Hampton Affiliates, Portlan4 Or., is acquiring lumber manufacturing plants at Cenreville and Vance, Al.

IV{anagement is expected to change in June at the mills which manufacture southern yellow pine dimension, boards and special timbers. A presslue treating plant is included in the transaction.

With the new operations and mills at Willamin4 Tillamook and Grand Ronde, Or., and Pollok, Tx., Hampton's 1994 production will total 600 million board feet of domestic and export lumber. The company will market over one billion board feet, including its wholesale activities.

"We will continue to seek additional opportunities in the South," John C. Hampton, ceo of Hampton

Affiliates, said. "The failure of the Clinton Administration to produce a balanced forest plan to free up productive Northwest federal timberlands forces us to Iook elsewhere for expansion opportunities and job ct€ation."

Panel Exports Remain Strong

Despite a global recession, 1993 exports of structural panels were the second largest volume on record, 1.71 billion square feet (3/8-inch basis).

Mexico kept its second place standing behind the United Kingdom for the second year with indications that the U.S.-Canada-Mexico free trade pact will strengthen the entire North American stuctural panel marker Shipments to Gerrrany increased 20 million square feet. U.S. glulam beam shipments to Japan increased almost threefold in value from 1991 to 1993.

U.S. Department of Agriculture listed the United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada, The Netherlands, Gennany, Belgium/Luxembourg, Denmark, heland, Leeward Islands and Japan as the top 10 export markets for U.S. softwoodplywood.
