QUESTIONS FOR DON FINNEY, ALASKA LOGGERS ASSOCIATION 



QUESTION 1. Would the pulp mills cease operations if they were 

 required to purchase timber in short-term, competitively bid timber 

 sales? 



QUESTION 2. If the long-term contracts were cancelled, what is your 

 estimate of compensation that would be due? 



QUESTION 3. Are there currently any alternative markets for Tongass 

 pulp logs besides the pulp mills? Would there be markets if export 

 restrictions were lifted?
