Enclosed is the policy statement of the Alaska Loggers 

 Association on Tongass legislation. It represents our effort to 

 address the concerns of the majority of people of Southeast Alaska, 

 especially those people and communities dependent upon National 

 Forest timber. We are also sensitive to the concern that other 

 resources such as fish, wildlife, and subsistence continue to be 

 protected. 



We believe it is time for the ALA, the Southeast Alaska 

 Conservation Council, the Southeast Conference, and the State of 

 Alaska to work with the Alaska Congressional Delegation to forge 

 an "All Alaska" position to present to Congress. We would 

 appreciate adding your voice to those who agree with us that the 

 time has come for such a compromise. 



ura very truly,
