The Honorable Dan Hamburg 

 U.S. House of Representatives 

 1 14 Cannon House Office Building 

 Washington, D.C. 20515 



Dear Representative Hamburg: 



I am writing on behalf of the 170,000 members of the Natural Resources Defense 

 Council (NRDC) to express our strong support for the Headwaters Forest Act of 

 1993, H.R. 2866. We appreciate your leadership in this important legislative effort. 



The Headwaters Forest and its associated old growth redwood ecosystem is an unique 

 natural resource worthy of public acquisition. Only by the adequate protection and 

 proper management provided by H.R. 2866 can we be certain that this ecosystem will 

 persist over time and that future generations of Americans will be able to visit and 

 enjoy this priceless treasure. In addition, we support the addition of the Headwaters 

 Forest into the National Wilderness Preservation System as Section Four of your bill 

 provides. 



Thank you again for your commitment to sound stewardship and environmental 

 protection demonstrated by the introduction of this important piece of legislation. The 

 NRDC looks forward to working with you to secure passage of H.R. 2866 in this 

 Congress. 



Very truly yours.
