Dear Senator Bennett: 



Thank you for your leadership in putting together meaningful Tongass reform 

 legislation and your commitment for speedy committee mark up and passage. 



Representatives of The Garden Club of America were at the hearing on the 26th and 

 reported the good news to me. 



We expect that your bill will have strong protection for critical fish and 

 wildlife watersheds and good buffer zone language. 



Sincerely, 



Fhoebe A. Driscoll
