GEORGIA KRAFT Co., KRANNERT DIVISION, Rome, Ga., October 23, 1969. Senator JAMES EASTLAND, Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. Urgently request your support of the proposed National Forest Timber Supply Act (S. 1832) now pending in the Congress. The purpose of this act is to intensify the timber growth and harvest from the national forest while protecting and insuring the other multiple benefits of these lands. It is worthy to note that the purpose of the proposed act coincides with the recent statement of Forest Service Chief, Edward P. Cliff, that allowable cuts could, in time, be increased about two-thirds by intensifying timber culture on the more productive portions of national forest commercial timberlands. Passage of this act is imperative if this Nation is to fulfill the forecast of timber products consumption in the 1970's. I again respectively urge your active support in the passage of the proposed National Forest Timber Supply Act. Senator JAMES EASTLAND, Chairman, Senate Committee on Agriculture Dr. E. F. WALKER, INTERNATIONAL PAPER Co., Glen Falls, N.Y., October 24, 1969. Urge that you support National Timber Supply Act, S. 1832, as recommended by NFPA statement. C. A. PESEZ.

With expanding needs of society for all wood-based commodities, all forests must maximize growth and production, and S. 1832 is immense, timely step in funding increased production from Nation's public forests.
