High interest rates and the collapse of the housing indus try have left companies who purchased high priced federal timber with lots of timber on the stump, but no place to sell it. That leaves people without jobs, counties without revenue from Forest Service and BLM receipts, and communities without a major portion of their economic base. These are the hardest times we've faced since the Depres sion. Something must be done, and whatever it is. the goal must be putting people back to work. That seems obvious, but many suggested approaches to the crisis don't accomplish that. It doesnt help to keep companies afloat if they're going to continue to be plagued by frequent lay-offs. Nor does it help to force companies to keep people working if doing so will force the company into bankruptcy. There has to be a middle ground where companies can put people to work, and stay in business. That's why I introduced legislation allowing timber companies to terminate exist ing timber harvest contracts with the Forest Service, as long as the companies re-bid timber under terms that require a prompt harvest. To make the harvest of timber worthwhile in this emergency situation we have to do something that will lower stumpage prices to a competi tive level in today's market. Timber companies can't af ford to harvest today at the prices they bid years ago: those prices were driven sky-high by speculation and log exports. Re-opening bids on terminated contracts and requiring prompt harvesting will eliminate speculation and create the competition that will lower prices. This will mean renewed activity in our timber industry-creating jobs r BIRTHS Joseph Nathan Peck - A son. Joseph Nathan was born to Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Peck, Lexington on Friday.

There are many who believe a contract is a contract and the timber companies should be held to them. I know that was my first reaction to the idea of changing or termina ting the contracts. But consider the consequences. Forcing companies to default on contracts or go bankrupt won't provide jobs and it will leave only a decimated indus try dominated by the largest national and multi-national companies. That hardline policy is rapidly becoming an option of the past anyway. The Forest Service is already granting extensions and many in the industry want their policy liberalized even further. But extensions that allow a com pany to defer the harvest, for . as long as three years in some cases, won't provide jobs either. That's why it seems to me that termination under the provisions of my legislation is a better approach. My proposal allows the timber companies to re-bid timber at more competitive rates, as long as the timber company agrees to harvest and process the timber soon-putting peo ple back to work right away. Congressman Les AuCoin has another proposal and the Governor's panel has its own recommendations. We must work together in Oregon to find the emergency solution that is best for the whole industry and the people who depend upon it for jobs. Toward that end. I'll bring the Forests Subcommittee, which I chair, to Roseburg. the hardest hit area in Oregon, to see the situation first hand and hear what can be done. The Forest Subcommittee hearing will be Thursday. December 3 in Roseburg at City Hall. 900 S.E. Douglas Street. Sincerely. Jim Weaver Member of Congress PUBLIC MEETINGS Wednesday.
