Hi Jim.  I don`thave any suggestions for you as I am a little out of touch
although I do read the DM Register.  Would remind you when REAP was first set
up it was supposed to be funded at $20 million a year.  There here is a lot
of make up to do.
   Another subject.  Just got an email alert from American Rivers that Latham
has refused to-sponsor the Missiour River Protection Bill.  What is wrong
with that guy?.  Hope to see a letter to the editor blasting him on his lack
of interest in the Missouri and the Loess Hills.  That should be a Sierra
Club project.
   Am keeping busy down here.  We have some very interesting citiziens
initiatives on the ballot in Arizona in which the Sierra Club and others are
involved involving growth restrictions, and management of 90,000,000 acres of
State Trust Lands.
Attended a hearing last night in Scottsdale put on by the US Forest Service
on Clinton`s plan to restrict roads on 40,000,000 acres of National Forests.
The Sierra Club was really organized.  Of the 55 people who talked 45 were
wearing green "Save the Forest" hats as were about 100 of the 120 people
there.
   Dropme a note and let me know what is going on and say hello to the Sierra
Club crew.
