Mr. POMEROY. We will begin the next round. I have additional 

 questions and I believe other members do, too. 



Mr. Hamburg. 



Mr. Hamburg. Mr. Campbell, you mentioned that the Nature 

 Conservancy had established this 4,500-acre area, I believe your 

 words were, as the natural biological boundaries. 



Mr. Campbell. That is correct. That is the words they used and 

 that was taking into account both the drainages of Elk River and 

 Salmon Creek and then looking at the topographical maps, going 

 out on the ground. And if you will look, it is on a ridge line that 

 runs around the top of the 1,500-acre area and they felt that would 

 be more than adequate to protect both those drainages. 



Mr. Hamburg. Mr. Chairman, I would just like unanimous con- 

 sent to enter into the record a letter from the Nature Conservancy 

 to my legislative director signed by Harvey Carlson with respect to 

 the Nature Conservancy's understanding of their discussions with 

 Pacific Lumber with respect to the 4,500 acres. 



Mr. POMEROY. Without objection, so ordered. 



[The letter follows:]
