  • Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

I would like to turn over my column this issue to my colleague Felix Martin, an unemployed auto worker and co-editor of !Seu>» & Letters. — Charles Denby. • On Dec. 28 Bethlehem Steel announced that it will permanently lay off up to 10,000 more workers and sharp­ ly curtail operation at its Lackawanna, N.Y. and Johns­ town, Pa., plants, thus reducing its steelmaking capacity by another 15 percent. The U.S. steel industry is estimat­ ed to be operating at 29 percent of capacity, the lowest since the Great Depression. • The United Auto Workers Union contract, voted on and accepted by Chrysler workers in America and in Canada, was a victory for the workers. TBe Canadian workers went out on strike and they won what the union leadership wasn't even going to bargain for. 20,000 waited in Bne in Chicago for temporary minimum wage jobs as unemployment went above 12 million nationwide. • At one unemployment office in California some un­ employed workers were passing out a leaflet they had written called "Unemployment Lines." Workers in the Two States of the Union unemployment line began to chant, "No jobs, revolu­ tion!" Others who were reading the leaflet in their cars began blowing their horns.
