Dear Katie, 



As you know, the topic of granting an extension to Ketchikan Pulp Company has heen a 

 hot one in July SEACC strongly opposes this legislation 



At the July 1 1th heating on H R 3659 Congressman Don Young challenged SEACC's 

 statement that the Governor of Alaska does not suppon H R 3659 and that the bill 

 doesn't even co me close to including the specific niinimiiin conditions set forth by the 

 Governor in his letter to Mark Suwyn, CEO of Louisiana Pacific Corpoiation 



Although Governor Knowles has expressed his support for an extension, it is absolutely 

 clear that there has not been a single written word from Governor Knowles, stating that he 

 supports the proposed HR 3659 extension or the Senate Companion bill 



Please see the attached Anchorage Daily News anicle which confirms our \ leivs We are 

 requesting that Congressman Young make this anicle pan of the hcanng recoid
