    Statement on an Agreement on Pacific Northwest Timber Sales
    August 3, 1993

        We are committed to working to enhance the long-term economic and
    environmental health of the region. That commitment means a responsible
    forest management plan and a responsible but determined effort to get
    timber moving back into the mills. We have offered an innovative,
    comprehensive, and balanced plan to solve a difficult set of problems.
    Now we are taking steps to implement that plan and get timber to the
    mills.

    Note: The President's statement was included in a White House statement
    announcing the agreement.
