At Loggerheads Over Forest Plan

Laptop Battery President Bush's proposal to speed up selective logging in national forests to prevent wildfires has divided Democratic lawmakers and alienated some of them from their longtime environmental base.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Thinkpad With western voters clamoring for government action to avert a repeat of this summer's forest devastation, Democrats including Reps. George Miller (Calif.) and Peter A. DeFazio (Ore.) and Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) and Ron Wyden (Ore.) have sought to negotiate compromise legislation that would placate the administration and Republican leaders.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Microsoft Republicans want to speed up forest fire suppression programs by circumventing key environmental laws and judicial review of some contested logging projects. But Democrats are finding it nearly impossible to forge an agreement without infuriating environmental groups that distrust the president's policies.

Laptop Computers Yesterday, leading environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, Friends of the Earth, the Wilderness Society, the National Environmental Trust and the American Lands Alliance, denounced Miller and DeFazio for trying to work out a deal with Rep. Scott McInnis (R-Colo.), the GOP point man on forest management issues.

Laptop Computer "We are shocked and disappointed that Representative Miller and Representative DeFazio would support legislation that steamrolls environmental safeguards for forests," said Brian Vincent, California organizer for the American Lands Alliance. "Under this bill, the timber industry gets to log the national forests under the guise of fire prevention, while the public is supposed to stand silently by and watch."

Desktop Computer Miller, who boasts one of the strongest environmental voting records of any Democrat in Congress, announced last Wednesday that he and McInnis had reached an agreement on a new compromise forest policy proposal.

Notebooks That agreement would allow the Forest Service to conduct large-scale logging projects without considering alternatives less harmful to the environment. It also would greatly speed up administrative and judicial appeals, and broadly define the high-risk areas exempt from current restrictions to include residential communities and municipal watersheds and more remote areas of federal lands.

Lenovo Yet the deal began unraveling almost immediately, and yesterday Miller and DeFazio removed their names from the proposal before the House Resources Committee approved it, 23 to 14, largely along party lines. Four Democrats voted with Republicans in favor of the plan.

Hard Drive McInnis, the chairman of the forest health subcommittee, accused environmental groups of undermining the agreement. He said although lawmakers negotiated "in good faith" inside the Capitol, "outside, the lobby effort by the national Sierra Club and the Wilderness Society went into full gear."

Travelstar Miller insisted he was not swayed by the outside criticism and vowed to continue negotiating with McInnis in hopes of striking a deal they can offer on the House floor before Congress adjourns.

Gateway "We're very close to something we can defend against all comers," he said.

Laptop Parts But the Democrats are torn over the forest fire management issue, and Miller faces stiff resistance from influential fellow Democrats, including Rep. Nick J. Rahall II (W.Va.), the ranking member of the Resources Committee; Rep. Jay Inslee (Wash.); and Rep. John Conyers Jr. (Mich.), the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.

Software Rahall said there are "legitimate concerns" that the forest fire management legislation could result in a long-term diminution of key environmental safeguards, while Conyers warned of a possible erosion of the power of the courts to review Forest Service actions.

Hard Drives Rep. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) said he was particularly disturbed by what he called "very unrealistic and absurd deadlines" imposed on court challenges to thinning projects that potentially would force the courts to put the cases ahead of other more pressing business.

Electronics In the Senate, Democrats have blocked efforts by Sens. Larry E. Craig (R-Idaho) and Pete V. Domenici (R-N.M.) to attach a version of the president's proposal to the fiscal 2003 Interior Department spending bill, while Republicans have opposed Democratic alternatives.

Canon Philip Clapp, president of the National Environmental Trust, said that both parties are struggling to break the impasse to gain political cover heading into the November elections. Already, the issue has surfaced in a couple of House races, including the contest to replace retiring Rep. Joe Skeen (R-N.M.). Former state representative Steve Pearce (R) and his Democratic rival, state Sen. John Arthur Smith, are trying to outdo each other in claiming support for initiatives to thin forests.
