Statement:
Stockly. Mr. Mr. Chairman, I am Edwin Stockly, a lawyer prac ticing in Boise, and I am speaking here as an individual and as a member of the Sierra Club, not on behalf of a client. One point that I would like to make, Mr. Chairman, is that in some areas of the country, very productive economies have been built up around a specific asset, such as a fine trout stream, and Idaho has many such assets. I would refer you specifically to the South Fork of the Boise River, which is one of the great trout streams of this country. And as acid rain and other pollutants are destroying the recre ational areas in the Northeast part of the country and the Mid west, soon States like Idaho will have the assets that people from all over the country will be coming to. We should not let these assets be destroyed. Thank you.
