Title
"Bush visit and Mark Rey" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on President Bush’s visit to Oregon and his approach to preventing future wildfires by loosening regulations and allowing commercial loggers to thin fire prone, old growth forests. According to AuCoin, Bush's Assistant Secretary for Agriculture (responsible for national forest policy) and former timber lobbyist Mark Rey had helped to pass the "notorious" timber salvage rider policy of 1995. The policy had destroyed the trust between the industry and the environmental conservation community. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired from August- September 2002.
