>>Dear Friend,
>>
>>America's last untouched scenic wilderness forests need your help!!
>>
>>At stake are 60 million acres, just 30 percent of the National Forest
>>system -- still wild and roadless but unprotected from logging,
>>mining and road building.  These Heritage Forests provide Americans
>>with outstanding recreational opportunities, some of our most
>>important fish and wildlife habitat, and clean drinking water.
>>
>>On Wednesday, over 700 religious, scientific, and conservation 
>>leaders released a public letter to Vice President Gore, urging him 
>>to take advantage of an "unprecedented opportunity to leave a legacy 
>>of Heritage Forests for future generations...[and] adopt a final 
>>policy... that forever protects America's Heritage Forests."
>>
>>It was one year ago that President Clinton promised "...the Forest
>>Service is developing a scientifically based policy for managing
>>roadless areas in our national forests.  These last remaining wild
>>areas are precious to millions of Americans and key to protecting
>>clean water and abundant wildlife habitat, and providing recreation
>>opportunities."
>>
>>A year since President Clinton promised to protect America's last
>>scenic wild forests, they remain unprotected.  Our first opportunity
>>will come when the Administration announces an 18-month road building 
>>moratorium in some of our National Forests.  Watch for our email 
>>alerting you when the announcement is made, we hope in December.  
>>We'll provide you an  easy way to contact key decision makers to 
>>voice your support for protection of America's Heritage Forests.
>>
>>Throughout 1999, Americans for Heritage Forests will keep you updated
>>on the progress of our campaign and provide timely alerts so that you
>>can make your voice heard with decision makers.
>>
>>I promise we won't ask you for money.  Your participation is free.
>>
>>Please join our efforts by visiting our website, www.ourforests.org.
>>And invite your friends, family and colleagues to join as well.
>>
>>Thank you.  The forests and our children will be forever indebted.
