Plnallr> I terved es a aenbar of the California State Board 

 of Poreatry for eight yeara. I «aa reaponsibla, along with my 

 eolleaguaa on tha Board, for aetting policy for CillfornlA'i 

 State Foreata. ^fountain Home State ?oreft. vhieb haf asny acres 

 of aequoxaa redwooda. ia managed for multiple uaea including the 

 lodging of redwood. In the 8 yeara t vas involTad, 1983 to 1991, 

 the ataca waa eontinuoualy praiaed for ita management of thia 

 foraat. It ia cooaidared by many to be the Jevel of California 

 State Foreati, proving oact again that mulcipla uae and 

 environmental quality go hand in hand. 



To protect and encourage the growth of our aequola 

 redvooda in particular and our foreac lands in general, va 

 need sound auleipla aaa planning by professional land maoagaca 

 with Che input of the public, not a Conxrassionally mandated 

 loclcup of our :iacional roreats. as would by aatablisbed by JI.B. 

 21)3. I urge tr.a aubcoaaiccee to rajacc this aeaeure. 



Thank you for your tiae and conaidernClon in thla matter. 



incerely.
