Legislation may add
trees to state forest
By David Brown
Ot the Emerald
A wilderness bill that would
add 1 million acres of roadless
land to the National Wilderness
System in Oregon passed the
House Interior Committee Wed
nesday by a 26-17 vote
However, a date for a House
vote on the Oregon Endangered
Forest Wilderness Act of 1982
has not been scheduled yet,
says Ron Eachus, legislative
aide to Congressman Jim
Weaver, D-Ore
Under the bill, one-third of
Oregon's three million acres of
roadless territory would be ad
ded to the National Wilderness
System. This would make state
wilderness areas total about 3 5
percent of Oregon, according to
figures from Weaver's office.
Democratic Reps Les
Aucoin, Jim Weaver and Ron
Wyden introduced the bill to
avert possible lawsuits that
threatened to tangle up three
million acres of Oregon's road
less land in court.
Court proceedings would
protect those acres from use by
loggers during a recessionary
economy, according to Weaver
The 9th Circuit U S Court of
Appeals recently decided the
"second Roadless Area Review
and Evaluation” process, which
the U S Forest Service uses in
evaluating California's roadless
areas, is inadequate
The court's decree raises the
possibility of a similar RARE
lawsuit against Oregon's review
process of roadless acres that
are managed by the Forest Ser
vice, Weaver says
Gov Vic Atiyeh disagreed last
week, writing that no urgency to
avert lawsuits exists for the next
two months
In a sharp response to the bill.
Atiyeh accused the three con
gressmen of subverting
Republican Sen Mark Hatfield's
Timber Contract Relief Act and
of breaching a working rela
tionship between the governor's
office and the state's represen
tatives
Atiyeh says Weaver's office
assured the governor's staff the
bill would not be introduced
"That is categorically not true
because the congressman
(Weaver) talked directly for over
a half hour with Atiyeh's office in
Salem," says Greg Skillman.
staff director of the House forest
subcommittee
He says the 2 million acres
open for multiple use by H R
7340 constitute the highest
timber-yield areas of the three
million acres considered
"I don't think (the Timber
Contract Relief Act and H R
7340) are mutually exclusive at
all," says Skillman
Because of the Wilderness
Act. the Oregon Natural Re
sources Council postponed
filing a RARE suit against the
Forest Service, says Andy Kerr,
ONRC associate director for
conservation
The bill falls far short of the
3.4 million-acre designation
recommended by the ONRC,
Kerr says He urges public sup
port of HR 7340, calling it an
excellent measure towards
compromising between timber
industry and conservationist
concerns
The industry's best bet is to
be supportive of this bill, he
says In the coming 1983 House,
Representatives sympathetic
towards conservationist inter
ests will have a stronger in
fluence, he says
The bill "protects only one
quarter of the eligible roadless
lands as wilderness," said
ONRC Executive Director
James Monteith during earlier
testimony on the bill to the
House Public Lands Subcom
mittee The bill gives Oregon
ians a “minimal supply of native
wild forest lands," Monteith
says
