A TWO-VEHICLE CRASH near ‘First Bridge’ on Hwy. 199 at the south end of Cave
Junction occurred Thursday afternoon, Sept. 28. Traffic was hampered until emer-
gency personnel and bridge construction workers took care of the situation. De-
tailed information was unavailable. In another collision the same day near milepost
10 of Hwy. 199, Kerby resident Brian Thom, 48, suffered serious injuries. He was
taken to a Portland hospital by a Mercy Flights helicopter from near the scene. Illi-
nois Valley Fire District responded under mutual aid with Rural/Metro Fire Dept. for
heavy extrication. The other vehicle contained Brett Phillips, 20, and Jamie Spray,
22, addresses not listed. They were taken by American Medical Response to Three
Rivers Community Hospital in Grants Pass. The highway was closed for two hours
because of the crash. (Photos by Dale & Elaine Sandberg)

The Lobbying Effort
Briefing on the Washington, D.C. Lobbying Effort
Reinstating O&C Funding
Submitted by Commissioner Jim Raffenburg
Failure to reauthorize Public Law 106-393 Law
would result in direct financial hardships
for citizens of Josephine County.
Two hundred and sixteen County Commissioners/Supervisors, School
Superintendents and others, from all over the Country, attended this two-
day lobbying event. Everyone wore green polo shirts that said “Save our
Rural County Schools and Roads”. The shirts stood out quite well. For two
days, it was very obvious there was a serious effort under way to get the
attention of Congress and their staffs.
On Wednesday morning, I attended a briefing at the White House
conducted by David Anderson, the Associate Director of the Office of
Management and Budget. This briefing was arranged by the Association
of Oregon Counties for Oregonians only and was attended by Senator
Wyden and Representatives Walden and DeFazio.
Director Anderson informed everyone present that there would be no
decision on the Reauthorization of Public Law 106-393 before Congress
adjourns on September 30 th . In all likelihood, there will be no vote on
reauthorization at all by this 109 th Congress. The only possible action we
might see is a one-year extension of the existing Law, at some level of
funding, if Congress can find the offsets needed to fund it.
Any such action will occur after the November election, when Congress
will reconvene to work on the passage of an omnibus spending bill.
Director Anderson said Congress will only pass a temporary spending bill
by September 30 th .
One possible ray of hope for a portion of the funding needed for a one year
extension would be H.R. 4200, the “Forest Emergency Recovery and
Research Act” or F.E.R.R.A.
H.R. 4200 would create approximately $130 million in receipts between
Fiscal Years 2007-2016, and has already passed in the House and it is now
being considered by the Senate, which is very unusual.
The Administration has agreed to the use of this revenue as an offset for
part of a one-year extension of the current law, if Congress sets the $130
million aside and does not spend it on something else.
By itself, H.R. 4200 represents less than 25% of the total offsets needed for
a fully funded one year extension.. Other offsets will still need to be found
and that is going to be very problematic in the current political and fiscal
climate in Washington, D.C.
Currently, H.R. 4200 is being held up in a Senate Agricultural sub-
committee, waiting to be moved to the full committee and from there to a
vote by the Senate. The bad news is that there are a couple of competing
Senate bills, either of which could be passed instead, which would kill
H.R. 4200. Also, the Sierra Club is opposed to H.R. 4200 because it
creates a process that would not allow the courts to be used to
tie-up timber salvage sales.

On Wednesday, I worked with a team of Commissioners/Supervisors
lobbying the staff of fourteen Representatives from the State of New York.
There was near total disinterest by these staffers, which was not
encouraging. Only one showed any interest at all.
On Thursday, at the request of Bob Douglas, the President of the National
Forest Counties and Schools Coalition, I worked with him on a special six-
person team, which lobbied the Senate to move H.R. 4200 to the floor of
the Senate for a vote. I spoke with the staffs of twenty Senators during this
effort. Ten of them were very supportive, including two Democratic
Senators, which was very good.
For H.R. 4200 to have any chance to pass the Senate, it will have to happen
before September 30 th . If it does not, the likelihood of a one year extension
will slip away.
My Impressions
The atmosphere in Washington, D.C. at this time is far different from the
year 2000. The reauthorization of Public Law 106-393 will take a
tremendous bi-partisan effort. Unfortunately, this Congress is one of the
most partisan Congress’s in recent memory.
In addition, I do not believe this Congress will be willing to look at the
agreement made nearly 100 years ago in the Forest Reserve Act of 1908 or
the agreement made nearly 70 years ago in the O&C Act, and see them as
obligations of the Federal government today, especially when the current
memories of many Legislators only go back two to six years.
There are twenty States that do not benefit significantly in any way under
Public Law 106-393 and I did not see anything that would suggest they
would support an extension, let alone reauthorization. This means that if
just six States that get very little revenue from Public Law 106-393 or have
Senators who are otherwise opposed to it, there will be no extension or
reauthorization.
The timetable as we move forward will go something like this:
1. Possible vote by the Senate on H.R. 4200 before September 30 th .
If not, there is very little chance of any extension.
2. Should H.R. 4200 pass the Senate, there would be a decent chance for
some type of extension during the lame-duck session of Congress in
December. Any extension will still need to be based on real offsets
in current spending or based on new money. No offsets means no
extension at all. This point was made very clear to everyone.
3. Unless there is an extension of the current Law, during this session,
there is very little chance of reauthorization in the next Congress.
That means we will either have to start all over again next year or try
a different approach to redress this issue.
Final Thought
Personal Impression: There is less than a 50% chance of any extension this
session and even if there is, there is less than a 25% chance that any
extension will be at current levels of funding. Reauthorization of Public
Law 106-393 is no longer an option this year.
