NEW YORK TIMES ANTI-SALVAGE LOGGING AD TARGETS CLINTON

On Thursday, September 5th, a second full page ad in the national edition of the New York Times asked Clinton to not allow any exceptions to a ban on salvage logging of roadless areas. The headline read: "President Clinton, only you can stop the Salvage Scandal killing our national Forests", the subheading stated:"suspicious fire sales and lawless logging threaten pristine national forests." A text box insert discussed specific roadless sales in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington.

The ad was initiated by the Southwest Center and designed by the Public Media Center. It was signed by the Apache survival Coalition, Buckeye Forest Council, California Wilderness Coalition, Committee of Wilderness Supporters, Earthlaw, The Ecology Center, Forest Guardians, Headwaters, Heartwood, Idaho Sporting Congress, Northwest Ecosystem Alliance, Save America's Forests, Seventh Generation Fund-Honor the Earth Campaign, Sierra Club Grand Canyon Chapter, Siskiyou Project, Southern Appalachian Biodiversity Project, Southern Oregon Wildlife Watch, Southwest Forest Alliance, Southwest Trout, Student Environmental Action Coalition, T & E Inc., Western Ancient Forest Campaign, Williams Watershed Protection Association, and Zuni Mountain Coalition.
