Dear Representative Hamburg: 



The E^nvironmental Defense Fund, on behalf of its more than 200.000 

 members, is pleased to support HJR. 2866. the Headwaters Forest Act. The 

 bill represents a responsible effort to secure protection for nationally 

 important natural resources, including endangered species, salmon, and other 

 old gxxjwth forest resources. Without the public acquisition of the lands tha t 

 are the subject of this bill, it is likely that these declining and ecolo^cally 

 important resources will be lost. 



Sincerely. 



O'-^
