Last month, we requested data from each of the 19 Region 6 national forests 

 for the projected reforestation and forestation needs for FY 94 and FY 95. 

 The projected FY 94 reforestation workload is graphically displayed on the 

 following two pages for thirteen of the forests' (Some of the forests 

 provided incomplete data so that some of the categories which display no 

 proposed activities may simply be lacking data) 



The forests are grouped together by eastern Oregon (2 charts), western 

 Oregon, and Washington. As discussed and displayed in our Investing in 

 America report, there is a massive shift of proposed activities from the 

 "west-side" of the Cascades to the "east-side." Part of the shift is due to 

 the collapse of the timber sale program on the west-side and an increase in 

 the amount of proposed forest health type projects on the east-side. 



Our association also requested information about the status of the cash 

 balances and projected expenses for the KV fund for Region 6. The 

 information was provided by the Region 6 office and is displayed following 

 the two pages of graphs. 



Last spring, we requested KV data and projected workloads from each of the 

 individual 19 national forests in Region 6. At that time, our association 

 estimated that the total projected expenses exceeded cash and projected 

 cash collections by approximately $1 1 million. Based upon our limited 

 knowledge of the KV system, it would appear that the KV fund balance is 

 rapidly "hemoraghing" and is now displaying a projected $42.7 million 

 deficit, as of September 1992.
