Dear Seantor Murkowski: 



Friends of Glacier Bay strongly oppose extension of the Ketchikan Pulp 

 Company's monopoly contract. 



We wait for the day when it becomes possible to constitute a sustainable 

 forest inckistry on the Toogass, one that uses less timber to prockice more 

 jobs, and provides better protection for the other uses of the forest. 



KPC could certainly decide to become part of this new way of doing 

 business, but they have no incentive so long as their sweeheart deal 

 continues at the expense of the taxpayer and the environment. 



Sincerely, 



Cifegory^ Streveler 

 Board Member
