>GLICKMAN DIRECTIVE PROMPTS RABID RESPONSE FROM
>INDUSTRY
>
> The timber industry's "forest health" propaganda machine is
>cranking out full blast in response to Secretary of Agriculture Dan
>Glickman's directive concerning salvage sales under the rider.
>Stating, "If you liked the Yellowstone fires, you'll love Secretary
>Glickman's new Forest Service policy," a wise-use action alert
>concludes that the directive "means the Clinton Administration will
>be responsible for unnecessary and costly fires." Despite no credible
>scientific consensus that salvage logging reduces the likelihood and
>frequency of fires, and the peer-reviewed Sierra Nevada Assessment
>that concludes logging actually increases fire, the industry is using
>the Glickman directive like a club to demand more special favors.
>
> The Glickman Directive is an admission that the Forest
>Service has failed to properly implement the rider as directed by
>President Clinton by issuing environmentally destructive sales. But
>it still does not ensure that many of the bad sales under the rider
>will be cancelled. Sales in uninventoried roadless areas, Option 9
>sales and sales that contain significant amounts of green trees will
>still go forward without citizen appeals or court review to ensure
>that they comply with environmental laws. In addition, the Forest
>Service is granted considerable discretion to determine which sales
>must comply with the Directive.
>
>
>ACTIVISTS LISTING SALES THAT COMPLY WITH DIRECTIVE
>
> Activists are responding to the Glickman Directive by
>documenting specific sales that should be cancelled. The Inland
>Empire Public Lands Council has already created a list of 26 sales to
>be cancelled. Please submit your list of sales to:
