On the recordJune 20, 1996
Mr. Chairman, this is on the issue of log exports. Log exports are the timber industry's best kept secret. While the industry stands united in its attempt to pass riders to appropriation bills that will accelerate Federal timber harvests, they have maintained an informal truce within their ranks on the continued practice of raw log exports from the Pacific Northwest even though the export of raw logs clearly hurts the nonexporting lumber and timber manufacturing companies in the Northwest. Last year, 1.6 billion board feet of logs were exported from Oregon and Washington to mills in Japan and the Far East.
