>   These are the dates at which we will be able to ask questions and get 
>answers (maybe....) and information on the Roadless Initiative Environmental 
>Impact Statement and then make comments. 
>   I will preface this by saying that the comments we all wrote, in 
>opposition to the Initiative only told our Congresscritters we were ticked. 
>The President signed the Roadless Initiative into action via his Executive 
>Order power. These meetings will describe what forest will lose how much land 
>to quasi-Wilderness designations and how many roads will be lost to 
>reclassification.   REMEMBER!!  Most Roadless areas are NOT really roadless!! 
>They have roads on them that have been conveniently reclassified as 
>"UNclassified"  meaning they no longer exist in the minds of the Forest 
>Service or King Klinton. Now, these meetings will be held to discuss just how 
>much we lose.  If we have a good showing here in New England...we will lose 
>less...hopefully...  If we have a bad showing, we lose more...
>    The info meetings will be held in Concord, NH at the Holiday Inn, I93, 
>Exit14 on May 23 and in Gorham, NH at the Town and Country, RTE 2 on May 24.  
>These are just informational meetings where you can ask questions, etc.  BUT 
>no official comments will be taken. 
>  The meetings where we will be able to make comments are at the same 
>locations on June 26th in Concord and June 28th in Gorham...  Again, these 
>meetings are very conveniently scheduled to start at 3PM in the afternoon on 
>a Monday and Wednesday respectively and run until about 8 PM.   I live about 
>5 hrs outside Concord, NH.  That means taking an entire day off of work to 
>attend. I probably won't be able to make it on a Monday. Anyone in that area 
>that has lots of flexibility with thier job should try to get to one of the 
>two. We may be able to make written comments as well...as soon as I have info 
>together as to who to send to, where to send and what if any "alternative" we 
>should be supporting, I will fwd it immediately.   Please spread this word to 
>other people, clubs etc.  I don't know if this info will come down from 
>either the EC4WDA LU Chair or the Region D chair.
>  If anyone does make it...please let me know how all goes.
