President Bush Visits the Northwest with a Focus on Forest Plan
President Bush arrives in Oregon today. This fundarising stop for the 2004 campaign is expected to highlight Bush's environmental agenda. Key issues on the table are wildfires, logging, and the Northwest Forest Plan. The latter was enacted by Bush's predecessor, Bill Clinton, in 1993 to protect against old-growth logging and preserve habitat of the endagered spotted owl. Bush is proposing some wholesale changes to the Northwest Forest Plan. Find out more:
