Statement:
Ms. Robinson. Senator McClure and staff, my name is Mary Robinson and I live in Sagle, Idaho. I would like to endorse the Endangered Idaho Wilderness Core. I oppose hard release. At least 50 percent of the remaining 6.5 million acres in Idaho should remain roadless. I support this stand because I have lived in large cities most of my life and have seen the pollution of the land, water, and the air and realize the devastating effects of man on our environment. I have traveled extensively in Idaho and Montana and have seen the devastation of the mining companies and the ruining of our forests by poor timber cutting practices. We need to keep as many areas as possible from man's invasion.
