President Glinton's Plan Lays An Egg

Anger, disappointment and frustration from industry greeted President Bill Clinton's plan to limit logging in Pacific Northwest forests. Despite earlier promises to effect a balanced solution and assure a continued flow of logs from federal forests, the President's choice of Option 9 was a clear betrayal of his promises. Industry reaction was quick and heated :

"It's a cruel hoax on the rural communities in Northern California and the Northwest." Ed Bond, Sierra Pacific Industries, Redding, Ca.

"What we heard today was nothing but lies and political rhetoric, and the betrayal of the people of the Northwest. We're just sick. We put our guts into this and we counted on Clinton. And he let us down." Larry Mason, former Forks, Wa., mill owner.

" A 75Vo reduction in timber harvest levels does not constitute a balanced solution." Howard Sohn, Sun Studs, Roseburg, Or.

"The president's plan is totally unacceptable to the forest products industry. The nation's economic recovery will be affected; communities and school districts in many rural areas will face additional hardship." John Hampton, president, Northwest Forest Resource Council.

"We in this industry fully understand that the only human elements the preservationists and environmentalists care about is their own well -being and not that of anyone else. On the economic side, the hard fact will be much higher prices, shortages and nationwide inflation." John de la Montanya, Sequoia Forest Industries, Dinuba, Ca.

"He won't just be locking up forests. He's also locking away any hope of an economic recovery and a return to affordable housing for Americans." Robert H. Hunt, Western Wood Products Association, Portland, Or.

The casual arrogance with which this Administration has brushed aside the legitimate needs of forest products families is appalling. Once again, birds and bugs have been chosen over people. The ignorance and stupidity displayed by President Clinton's decision is both amazing and saddening.
