3 STATEMENT OF ROBERT I. THIEME, VICE PRESIDENT

8 I am Robert I. Thieme, Vice President of the 



9 Scott Paper Company and General Manager of its west coast 



10 division. It is my pleasure to accept Roy Harris's 



11 invitation to make a statement with respect to the report 



12 on the studies conducted by the Washington State Enforce- 



13 roent Project.

15 couple of comments which perhaps properly could be made 



16 at this time, one in connection with Mr. Kari's presen-

20 Mill in Oregon, Kamloops Mill in British Columbia. For

22 kraft mills. Our problem is associated with sulfite mills. 



23 In comments earlier today reference was 



24 made to the Penobscot River, the problems there with 



25 shellfish. It seems only proper that the record be made
