 My Dear Mr. President: We have the honor to transmit herewith a report on 

 "Forest Resources of the Pacific Nortliwest" prepared hy the Pacific Northwest Re- 

 gional PLinning Connnission in cooperation with various private, State, and Federal 

 agencies interested in forestry in the region. It aims to avoid controversial matters, 

 concentrating for the present uyion the many points on which tlicre is substantial 

 agreement. 



The report stresses the importance of establishing sustained-yield practices of 

 forest management in tlic area where oin- largest renniining forest resources are con- 

 centrated. It is significant that the Regional Planning Commission in the area with 

 representatives from each of the States concerned joins with the responsible Federal 

 agencies in urging the general adoption of these conservation policies. 

 Smcerely yours, 



Harold L. Ickes
