                            Enrolled
 
                    House Joint Resolution 35
 
Sponsored by Representatives C EDWARDS, CLEM
 
 
  Whereas 57 percent of the 28 million acres of forestlands in
this state are federally owned; and
  Whereas federally owned forestlands have a profound influence
on the economic, environmental and social well-being of this
state; and
  Whereas federal policy and budget decisions have led to a
progressive disinvestment in federally owned forestlands in this
state, to the detriment of the economic, environmental and social
values those forestlands might otherwise produce; and
  Whereas in seeking a greater voice in the management of
federally owned forestlands in this state, Governor Ted
Kulongoski asked the State Board of Forestry to provide
leadership in crafting a unified Oregon vision for the role those
forestlands should play in the well-being of this state; and
  Whereas the State Board of Forestry appointed a highly diverse
and committed group of individuals to form the Federal
Forestlands Advisory Committee; and
  Whereas, by unanimous consensus agreement, the Federal
Forestlands Advisory Committee produced the report titled
 { - Oregon's Vision for Federal Forestlands - } that was
subsequently accepted by the State Board of Forestry and Governor
Kulongoski; now, therefore,
 
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
 
  That we, the members of the Seventy-fifth Legislative Assembly:
  (1) Support the findings and recommendations of the report
titled  { - Oregon's Vision for Federal Forestlands - }; and
  (2) Support Governor Kulongoski's effort to form a
multi-stakeholder group representative of Oregon interests in
order to oversee the implementation of the report by:
  (a) Committing the collective resources and energies of the
stakeholders to the successful achievement of the report
recommendations; and
  (b) Seeking funding, support and cooperation from federal
partners and policy makers.
