They are well organized and well financed. They coerce elected officials into doing their bidding by threatening to withhold support at the polls or by threatening to openly campaign against them. I think a good example of the way they work can be found in what is happening with the Clean Air Amendments. I dare say that 70 to 80 per cent down. of the public are opposed to them, yet Congress is voting for them. Whyt? Because a small group of well organized environmentalists think they are good and they are making certain that others share their views. Common sense tells uysthat there can be a balance between clean air and water and jobs. It isnt necessary to go to extremes on either side. Kaiparowits can and should be built but it is in trouble. More people who favor it must get involved, become organized, invest the time and even the money necessary to make their voices heard and clearly understood. . Moss reports from Washington The number one news story in Washington last week, as far as Utah was concerned, took place not in Washington, but in Utah. That, of course, was the announcement by Governor Calvin L. Rampton that he would not seek reelection to a fourth term. Senator Moss said he was disappointed with the Governors announcement. I think Calvin Rampton has performed his duties as Governor in an exceptional manner, he said. Without a question in my mind he has been the most effective Governor that Utah has produced. In other news, a delegation from Kane County was in Washington early last week pleading for a on the Kaiparowits Power Project. The with Interior Secretary Thomas visitied group of the White House and with official an Kleppe, the of Utah members delegation. Senator Moss arranged for the group to hear representatives of the Senate Interior Committee and the Senate Public Works Committee. Most of the group came away from the meeting a little bewildered by the complex nature of the Congressional process but also encouraged that Act amendthe Senate version of the Clean-Aiments would not likely be so restrictive as to prohibit Kaiparowits once the green light is given by Interior to build the project. Senator Moss said he was impressed with the group that came to Washington, saying they made a most effective case for the people of Utah. Im sure they made a good impression on everyone they spoke with or met, he said. I feel very strongly that this is exactly the kind of public statement that gets through to these bureaucrats back here. The Kane County people were extremely freustrated, as we all are from so many years of work and disappointment on this project, but they expressed themselves in a most responsible and effective manner.

Mari jane Adams, 825-664- 825-063- Letter to Rumsfeld on Minuteman U.S. Senator Jake Garn has asked Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to request a supplemental appropriation of $322 million for continued production of the Minuteman III ICBM. In a letter to the Secretary, Senator Garn referred to the fact that the Presidents budget for FY 1977 contained no funds for continuation of Minuteman production. In view of the international strategic situation, I believe that the Administration should now express its intention to continue Minuteman production in FY 1977. Such an intention should be expressed by a supplemental request for approximately $322 million, the amount needed to continue production of the Minuteman III at the rate of five per month through FY 1977. I believe that such a signal would act as a spur to the reprogramming request now before the Armed Services Committee and it would, certainly reassure the contractors presently and it would certainly reassure the contractors presently working on Minuteman that the line is not about to be shut THE LETTERBOX tap Wood embargo To the Editor: The hearings underway in Congress to deal with a threatened shutoff of wood fiber from the National Forests are important to every one of us as con- sumers. The possibility of a National Forest wood embargo arose when courts in the fourth federal circuit ruled that the 1897 law creating the National Forests gives the U.S. Forest Service authority to sell only trees that are large, dead or physiologically mature. The courts conceded that it may be bad forestry, but it is the law. Only Congress can change it. If applied nationally, the court ruling would lay a deadening hand on the practice of scientific forestry, in the opinion of Thomas C. Nelson, deputy chief of the Forest Service. Thinning, for example, perhaps the single best means of stimulating forest growth by eliminating overcrowding among im- mature trees, would be largely barred, since commercial thinning sales would be prohibited. Not even Christmas trees could be cut and sold to relieve overcrowding. The Forest Service says the court order could reduce its wood-fibe- r harvests 75 percent the first year and 50 percent from then on. So the growth of one of our greatest renewable resources trees may be throttled, even though the Forest Service says the National Forests actually are capable of doubling their output of wood fiber by the end of this century with proper funding. Over 15 percent of the nations wood fiber comes from the National Forests about the same proportion of wood fiber as the percentage of oil we imported from Arab countries at the time of the oil embargo. Apply the expected cuts in wood fiber to the 32 rolls of toilet paper or the 120 pounds of newsprint each of us uses every year, to mention only two of the thousands of wood products on which we depend, and the impact is clear. Actually, here in the West the percentage of fiber we obtain from Forest Service land is nearly three times the national average. The housing effort, long in trouble, could face serious shortages of lumber and plywood. A bill Hubert introduced by Sen. Humphrey .) would amend the 1897 act to give foresters the flexibility to apply their best professional judgment in managing the National Forests. Opposing bills by Sen. Jennings Randolph (D-- Va.) and Rep. George Brown would fix the court ruling firmly into law with additional restrictions. Each of us has a crucial stake in the debate now underway.
