combat the Mountain Pine
Beetle epidemic. While dam
age to Lodgepole Pine stands
already has been a concern to
Oregon members of congress,
potential damage to Pondero
sa Pine would cause much
greater economic damage
because of its greater use and
The forest service wai
urged last week to expediate
completion of a survey of the
effect and scope of the
Mountain Pine Beetle epide
mic in Eastern Oregon.
Sen. Mark Hatfield and
Congressman KJ Ullman said
from Lodgepole Fine to the
more valuable Ponderosa
Pine, and severe economic
consequences are feared if
corrective steps are not taken.
"Preliminary information
Indicated approximately 300
million board feet of Pon
derosa Pine are infected in
Umatilla, Wallowa-Whitman
and Malheur National For
ests," Ullman and Hatfield
said in a letter to forest
service chief John McGuire.
"This total is roughly equi
valent to two year's allowable
cut in any one of these forests;
its loss clearly would cause
economic hardships through
out the region."
The forest service already is
working on a comprehensive
western states insect issues
study, part of which focuses on
the Mountain Pine Beetle.
In addition to a survey of the
extend of existing damage and
its potential if not checked, the
lawmakers are seeking de
velopment of alternative sal
vage proposals for Ponderosa
Pine removal.
"Time is of the essence
since long delays prior to
launching any necessary sal
vage operations could severe
ly diminish the value of the
timber involved and result in
loss of revenue to the federal
treasury and local govern
ments," Hatfield and Ullman
said in their letter.
Data from the survey will

in securing added funds to
