It Is an interesting feeling to be appealing to a Senator from Colorado to save your 

 own backyard. The Tongass Conservation Society believes Senator Murkov/skl is 

 Ignoring legitimate concerns of the many people dependent on other non-ttmber 

 values In the Tongass National Forest. 



Unfortunate ley, TCS was unaware that It could have submitted the names of all of 

 It's members for the lottery drawing. I have been asked to deliver these 



statements from people who signed up to present oral testimony 



supporting Senator Wlrth"s bill but whose names were not selected. 



In closing, I will use the words of Glfford Plnchot; 



7/7 t/)e administration of the forest reserves it must be clearly t)orne in mind that 

 the land is to be devoted to its most productive use for the permanent good of the 

 whole people and not for the temporary benefit of individuals or companies " 



It Is time for changelll 



Sincerely,
