Monberg Vernal Express Washington D.C.Correspondent The spotlight is focusing on the beautiful and growing Pacific Northwest and, to a lesser extent, on Northern California as the staging area for several environmental and related issues. This is where the battle is being waged over the northern spotted owl and old-growth timber, a hearing was held on Aug. 1 by the Senate Public Lands, National Parks and Forests Subcommittee on legislation (S 1156) by 17 Senators designed to bring "balance" to timber cut and spotted owl habitatold-growth timber tim-ber in forests of the Pacific Northwest and Northern California, Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., chief sponsor of the bill, testified just before be-fore the Congressional summer recess. re-cess. Environmental organizations vigorously disagreed. They denounced de-nounced Packwood's "balance" bill as "a tree-farm bill." The Pacific Northwest is the location loca-tion of the Pacific yew tree, the source of a drug called taxon, which has been found to be effective in treating ovarian cancer, and, to a lesser extent, lung and breast cancer. Because so much timber in the Northwest including the Pacific yew is tied up in law suits and otherwise, the drug is in short. supply though needed to provide treatment to many cancer patients, according to testimony presented at the Aug." 1 hearing. The Pacific Northwest is the driving driv-ing force behind U. S. efforts to curtail cur-tail driftnet fishing. The Senate passed on Aug. 1 a bill (S 884) by Packwood which would place sanctions sanc-tions on countries that do not stop using driftnets on the high seas after June 1992. Pacific Northwesterners are concerned that huge driftnets, which are trapping many forms of marine life, are trapping immature salmon and steelhead fish that otherwise oth-erwise would migrate up the Northwest's Columbia River. As the Packwood bill passed the Senate, it was amended to affect all countries, not just Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. It's called distance learning.

This resolution, first agreed to by the House on July 9, now goes back to the House, following Senate amendment. Its chief sponsor is Rep. Jolene Unsoeld, D-Wash., and it has 44 co-sponsors, including many from the Pacific Northwest. SPOTTED OWLS, OLD GROWTH AND STABILITY The forests of the Pacific Northwest and Northern California are the battleground over preserving the northern spotted owl and old-growth old-growth timber generally 200 years old or more, and stabilizing small communities whose economies are based on timber cut from these forests. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USF&WS) in the Interior Department (DOI) listed the northern north-ern spotted owl as a threatened species on July 23, 1990, Its action materially cut back on timber harvest har-vest in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Calif., notably in old-growth old-growth timber areas where the owl lives, and where much harvesting has gone on in recent years. USF&WS will publish in the Federal Register on Aug. 13 its revised re-vised proposal for owl critical habitat habi-tat areas in Wash., Ore. and Northern Calif. After a 60-day public pub-lic comment period, USF&WS will make its final decision on owl habitat habi-tat ' An unusual alliance of the timber industry and organized labor the AFL-CIO and the carpenters union helped write and is sponsoring sponsor-ing the Packwood "balance" bill. Both industry and labor representatives representa-tives testified strongly in favor of the bill on Aug. 1 before the Senate Public Lands Subcommittee chaired by Sen. Dale Bumpers, D-Ark. Packwood introduced his "balance" "bal-ance" bill (S 1156) on May 23, the same 'day'that U. S.' District Judge William L. Dwyer of Seattle halted sales of timber from federal forests in the, Northwest and Northern Calif, until the U. S.

The bill would set aside a large amount of forest land for spotted owl habitat and for an old-growth forest reserve. re-serve. It would also set an annual timber harvest goal which is blank in the bill, pending negotiations. Some insiders estimate the goal will average between 2.6-3 billion board feet (bf) of timber annually, figures used in a similar bill (HR 3263) introduced by Rep. sid Morrison, R-Wash., and eight other Pacific Northwestern , House Members on Aug. 2. This is about 2 billion bf lower than the average annual an-nual timber cut in the area during the past five years. Timber cut has been lowered drastically this year because of court challenges and administrative ad-ministrative delays. The goal must be a minimum to keep the timber industry operating, sponsors say. The Packwood bill also would, streamline the appeals process to ensure that forest management plans proposed by the Forest Service in the Agriculture Department , (US-DA) (US-DA) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Interior would be implemented, not delayed. But this has intensified opposition to the Packwood bill not only from environmental organizations but others, including civil rights groups, that regard the provision as an attack at-tack on basic civil rights. Finally, the Packwood measure would provide economic assistance to timber-dependent communities and provide job retraining and other assistance to workers in the timber industry who have lost their jobs with the cutback in timbering. This assistance would come from federal timber revenues. The bill would apply mainly to 17 national forests in Wash., Ore. and Northern Calif, and to eight BLM districts in Ore. and Northern Calif.
