economy. I am grateful for the opportunity to set the record straight, and while I am at it, to 

 render a fUll account of my views on this calamitous piece of proposed legislation. 



xLet me quickly dispose of the discrepancy first and then go on to state nry views on 

 the bill. Mr. Stewart's statement attributing such an absurd claim to me proves the hazard of 

 making a quick-draw-shot Itom the hip. The first thing I did upon receiving the request was 

 to try to identify anything ! had ever stated either in writing or orally that might be construed 

 In that way. I might have slated orally at some time that 70 percent of manufacturing sector 

 employment is accounted for by the forest products industry, (since that figure is embedded 

 in the data included in one of the tables in one of my studies) but I have never made such a 

 claim for total wage and salary income. I am attaching herewith copies of several of my 

 publications or parts of pubinations that bear on the role of the forest products industry in the 

 county's economy, and I ask Congressman Dooiittle to submit them for inclusion in the 

 record or not as he sees tit, due to their length.
