Western Buitding Material Association is calling anew for congressional action to save jobs being sacrificed to birds. fish and trees,

The latest western bird nominated by the federal government for protected status is the marbled munelet. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recommended that it be listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, the same status given the northwest spotted owl.

The service believes logging and other practices have destroyed much murrelet habitat putting its survival at risk. The mbin-sized coastal seabird is said to nest in the same type of ancient forest as the owl.

Listing it in California, Oregon and Washington as proposed will mean that forest managers in those states, primarily federal agencies such as the Forest Service, must come up with a plan to protect the bird.

The association is asking members to call the White House message line from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time to let President Bush know how locking up almost 12 million acres of land will hurt timber communities and set a precedent that could cripple resource-dependent businesses and communities across the U.S. The telephone number is (202) 456-llll.

The White House is expressing grave concems about the extemism that's moving the owl debate, says Senator Mark Hatfield (R-Or.). It stems fi'om the growing frustration with "radical fringe environmentalists who feel they don't have to compromise." Hatfield says extremists have polarized the issue by putting so-called "timber barons" on one side and those who want "to preserve Mother Earth tbr future generations" on the other. He points out that recent court decisions where judges have clearly gone overboard to satisfy extremists'demands show even the courts are being affected by this propaganda.

Mountain States Lumber & Building Material Dealers Association president Mark Swager, Idaho Falls, Id., announced the addition of a new speaker to the l00th anniversary conference agenda at Chandler. Az.
