Senator Bumpers. This has been good background information. 

 We do have a lot of witnesses to hear from this morning. 



Senator Stevens. I thank you very much. 



Senator Murkowski. Mr. Chairman, since there was an issue rel- 

 ative to employment, I think it would be appropriate to add to the 

 record the Department of Labor, 1988 Jobs, Export and Production. 

 In 1988, Mr. Chairman, logging was 2,064, saw mills were 501, pulp 

 mills were 882 for a total Department of Labor figure of 3,447. 



That is a 17 percent increase over 1987. Additional direct jobs 

 not included in that total include 296 for longshoring, 95 for 

 towing, 150 for road construction and 435 for Forest Service, which 

 totals 976. The grand total of direct jobs are 4,423, 1,000 of which 

 are from native timber operations. I would ask, Mr. Chairman, that 

 this be entered into the record at this time.
