Dear Friend of Snake River Salmon,
UPDATE ON THE GORTON RIDER: Gorton's anti-salmon rider is attached to an
"Interior Funding" bill and on its way to President Clinton's desk.
Snake River Salmon need your help: Please contact President Clinton to
stop
Senator Slade Gorton's attack on salmon! Please take action TODAY!!
In less than 2 minutes, you can help in 2 ways:
(1) CLICK HERE to send a fast and furious email to President Clinton and
urge him to veto the Interior Funding Bill until Gorton's anti-salmon
rider
is removed.

(2) PLEASE CALL the White House at 202-456-1414 and urge President
Clinton
to veto the Interior Funding bill until Gorton's anti-salmon rider is
removed.
BACKGROUND:
Senator Gorton is trying to sneak a "rider" onto the Interior spending
bill
that jeopardizes salmon by taking recovery options off the table. His
rider will block funding for any studies on removing the lower Snake
River
dams or for any studies on investing in local communities who may be
affected if the lower Snake dams are removed in the future.
The Clinton/Gore salmon plan directs federal agencies to study how to
bypass the four lower Snake River dams and how to take care of affected
communities if the federal agencies decide that dam removal is the only
hope for saving wild salmon. Gorton's rider will prevent these studies
from
occurring.
Once again, Gorton is shutting the public out of the process by sneaking
a
rider on a bill. This is bad process and bad policy. By taking recovery
options off the table Gorton is jeopardizing the entire Clinton/Gore
salmon
recovery plan.
Stay tuned for updates on this rider.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! With your help, we will succeed in restoring
a
healthy Snake River, recovering its wild salmon, and aiding the
communities
that depend on them.
