I have copies of resolutions or letters from the oftlcers of the American 



Phytopathological Society, the Society of Nematologists, the Entomological Society of 

 America, and the North American Forest Inscci Work Conference, a collective group of more 

 than 10,000 individuals with solid expertise in the general field. These resolutions and letters 

 all address the crucial nature of these log imponation issues. 



We ai"e all asking you to do whatever is necessary to protect the forest resources of 

 this nation. The threat to forest health, to the biodiversity of forest ecosystems, and to the 

 economy of all of our communities, both laige and small, is astronomical.
