(3) "The Subcommittee proposes that Congress enact 

 legislation making it a felony to knowingly terminate or 

 threaten to terminate an individual's employment, or to 

 otherwise harm or threaten harm to an individual's property 

 or person as a result of or in anticipation of his or her 

 testimony before Congress, or otherwise providing 

 information to Congress. Any person who engages in such 

 action should be subject to ten years in prison or a fine of 

 up to $250,000, or both." 



The report was approved by the Subcommittee by a vote of 3-0 

 on September 29, 1988. [see EXHIBIT II] 



My treatment at the hands of Alaska Pulp Corporation is 

 indicative of their attitude concerning the rights and worth 

 of the common working man. Not only do they have a complete 

 disdain for the welfare of the workers of the Tongass, but 

 they have demonstrated an utter contempt for the 

 Congressional process and for Congress itself. Such 

 behavior should not go unchallenged. 



Congress is the organ that sits next to the beating heart of 

 the American people. The Congressional process is the blood 

 that runs in their veins. Any demonstrated contempt or 

 attack on this body, or this process, must be dealt with in 

 a sure and swift manner.
