Press Secretary(202) 22S-Z171FAX(202IZZS-3158WASHINGTON - Rep. Kika de la Garza, D-Texaa, Chairman of the HouseAgriculture Committee, issued the following statement after attending a White Housebriefmg on President Clinton's "ForelJt Conference";"I commend President Clinton for hia decision to convene the ForestConference with Vice President Gore and the relevant Federal agencies on April 2.The President's desire to listen and work with all sides in resolving thesecontrovenies is in marked contrut to the actiona of the previous Administrationwhich allowed the Federal agencies in charge to fight among themaelves. PresidentClinton haa made clear that hia Administration will seek to forge a single,scientifically·sound and responaible policy for dealing with the Northwest forest crisis.His leadenhip is welcome and sorely needed.We in the Congreea must stand ready to work with the Administration andhelp develop a resolution to old-growth forest iuues.Over the past two yean the Committee on Agriculture led the effort to developa science-hued approach to th.. iaBues. The lO-CaI1ed "Gang of Four" scientificreport commiMioned by the House Agriculture Committee, in coJVunction with theHouse Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, provided the framework fordiscua8iona between our Committee, the Natural Resourcee Committee, the MerchantMarine and Fisheri.. Committee, and the Speaker of the House last year. Thisapproach and the progreea made by the three committeee in the House la.et yearshould prove invaluable to the Administration's efforts to craf\ ita own proposals.Following the President'. ForelJt Conference, I look forward to working withthe Clinton Administration and with Chairman Miller of the Natural ResourcesCommittee, Chairman Studds of the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee andthe Speaker of the House to· address these issues.I am optimiatic that Congress and the Administration, working together. canreach agreement on these iaaues and develop a balanced policy approach that trulydeals with the human impact aa well as the economic and environmental challengesfaced in managing the Northwest's old-growth foresta."
