Dear David:

After so many years of excellent coverage of the ditrerent IHPA Conventions, I think it's about time that I send you a personal note of thanks for the splendid job you and your magazine have done for us.

If this note is late in reaching you, it is only for the reason that I have been travelling extensively since San Diego. The March 19?3 issue which was awaiting my return from overseas proved to be a powerful reminder that I should get this note off to you without further delay, and so I am doing it.

With best wishes.

Sincerely yours, Henry

President Richard M. Nixon White House Washington, D.C.

Dear President Nixon:

I ask you in one citizen's name, also my neighbors, and my childrens, that you:

1. Stop exporting our logs to Japan (and our jobs).

2. Free up impounded funds for forest access.

3. See that we American people get first use, first call on our ovrn resources.

4. Stop Mexican wet backs from being exploited by the tree-planting Japan, log exporting giant.

5. Stop Washington State from becoming a Japanese Tree Farm by helping us manufacture our own timber in our own sawmills.

Most sincerely, Dana McRarron, Sr.

Dear Dave:

Thank you for the nice spread you g:ave our Gourmet Dinner. However, it appears in reading the copy (April issue, p. 12) that something was left out of at least our issue. In any event, thanks for the nice publicity.

Sincerely yours,
