I have formed a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, "The 

 Foundation for the Protection of the Common People" , my 



goal being to protect the civil and human rights of the 

 common people, to conduct testing for toxic pollutants, 

 and to initiate appropriate action. The common people 

 need much, but ask only for fair representation. 



The Tongass Timber Reform Act represents salvation for the 

 Tongass. I request that the Committee fully support S.346, 

 along with the designation of "wilderness" for the 23 key 

 areas. 



In closing I would like to say that in the name of the 

 Foundation for the Protection of the Common People, I 

 protest the violation of the ground rules set up for the 

 selection of speakers before this Subcommittee, by Alaska 

 Pulp Corporation and others. This appears to be a corrupt 

 attempt to subvert the Congressional process and may very 

 well sink to the level of "obstruction of proceedings" 

 under 18 U.S.C. §1505. 



Thank you.
