ESnergency situation
To the editor:
Oregon's timber industry
faces an emergency situation.
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

TO EDITOR
for loggers, millworkers and
treeplanters.
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.
