The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 2 p.m. in room SD- 366, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. J. Bennett Johnston, chairman, presiding. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. J. BENNETT JOHNSTON, U.S. SENATOR FROM LOUISIANA The Chairman. The hearing will come to order. In 1980 the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, or ANILCA, was enacted. As Congress designated 5.6 million acres of the Tongass National Forest as wilderness, it also determined that the Tongass National Forest would be managed under a number of special provisions which set it apart from other national forests. In addition to the two long-term contracts already in place at the time of ANILCA's passage, Congress guaranteed a decadal harvest level of 4.5 billion board-feet on the Tongass, mandated a direct ap- propriation of at least $40 million, and allowed the Tongass an ex- emption from the timber suitability analysis required by the Na- tional Forest Management Act. Over the last few years many in and out of Congress have taken a hard look at those decisions we made almost ten years ago and ask a basic question: Have the assurances we made in 1980 unduly biased the management of the Tongass in favor of timber produc- tion at the expense of other values? Or are these provisions appro- priate compensation for the large wilderness set-asides of 1980? In this Congress alone, three measures have been introduced, each of which takes a different approach to responding to that question. Today we intend to focus on two provisions of one of those meas- ures, H.R. 987, the House-passed Tongass reform legislation, which has not been directly addressed at previous subcommittee hearings. Specifically, we will take testimony on those portions of H.R. 987 relating to fisheries protection and buffer zones and those provi- sions relating to the designation of additional wilderness areas in the Tongass National Forest. It is my sincere hope that this will be the last of our hearings regarding the Tongass National Forest and that we can move quickly to resolve this issue. Over the last couple of years, I have spoken with a wide variety of Southeast Alaskans concerning the (1) Tongass, including timber company representatives, environmen- talists, mill workers, and many, many others. While these individuals might propose dramatically different so- lutions to the Tongass issue, they almost all agree that what is needed most in Southeast Alaska is certainty. With that in mind, I am committed to a speedy markup and floor action for Tongass legislation, in hopes of getting to conference with the House and resolving these issues once and for all. I would like to welcome all of the witnesses who will appear before us today, particularly those who have made the long trip from Alaska. I look forward to your testimony and, as staff I am sure has asked each of you, we would like to hold the testimony to five minutes, summarizing your written statement. Your written statement will of course be put in the record. And with that, we should have time for questions. I want to urge you all to respect the 5-minute limit. At this time I will place a copy of H.R. 987 in the hearing record. [The text of H.R. 987 follows:] II 101st CONGRESS WJ Q f\Q*7 1st Session Jri t\« i/O / IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 17 (legislative day, January 3), 1989 Received; read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources AN ACT To amend the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, to designate certain lands in the Tongass National Forest as wilderness, and for other purposes. 1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa- 2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 3 SECTION 1.

Elkins: All My Friends Are Becoming Strangers: The Psychological Perspect "ALL MY FRIENDS ARE BECOMING STRANGERS": THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE IN LEGAL EDUCATIONt JAMES R. ELKINS* PREFACE That I adopted as part of the title for this article "All My Friends Are Becoming Strangers"' suggests the need for expla- nation-what humanistic sociologists call a reflexive statement. More simply put, this article needs a preface. The psychiatrist, Robert Coles, has suggested that a preface permits an author to tell where he stands, and unquestionably in so doing he runs the risk of self-centeredness if not self-display .... We owe it to ourselves and our readers to show something of our lives and our purposes, to indicate, as it were, the context out of which a particular book has emerged.2 This article began as an angry and polemical response to an article by William Simon calling into question what he called The Psychological Vision in legal education.' Upon first reading the Simon article I was dismayed that anyone could be so bold and presumptuous as to attack the psychological perspective and its role in legal education.

Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell.

    THE AMERICAN POWER All- Stars Scorecard & Voting Guide History About every two years, when Congress takes up an energy bill, the Big Oil Team and the Clean Energy Team go head to head on the floor of the U.S. Senate -- who will prevail and shape our nation’s energy policy? The final rosters for the two teams are now coming together, re- flecting Senators’ votes on energy and climate legislation. Senators earn their spot on the Big Oil Team by voting to maintain America’s ailing energy policy with its en- trenched big government subsidies for oil companies, lax oversight on safety and the environment for oil drilling, leases and permits for risky sources of oil, and appointments of regulators who have cozy relationships with the industry. Senators get onto the Clean Energy Team by voting for a new energy policy that will move Amer- ica away from our dangerous dependence on oil and other fossil fuels, and toward cleaner, safer sources of energy like wind, solar, geothermal, and sustainable biomass. This new direction holds the opportunity to make American power the energy technology of the future while creating jobs, strengthening our national security, and improving our environment.
