HOLMSTEAD Jey ASSISTANT COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: Editorial for Times Mirror Magazines Re: The Environment As noted on the attached copy of the above-referenced draft, I would replace the sentence in the 3rd paragraph that begins "We must strive " with the following: "We must strive to end the needless filling and draining of wetlands, and must ensure the creation of new wetlands to replace any wetlands that are lost." The original language suggests that wetlands may be "needlessly" filled and drained as long as new wetlands are created. My proposed revision is intended to suggest that wetlands should not be destroyed needlessly, and that when they are filled or drained for a good reason, new wetlands should be created to replace them.

Mike Deland is out of town, but he asked that I review this and provide my comments to you directly. I have several suggestions for revision of the wetlands paragraph. which I have incorporated below. One area of ongoing concern is wetlands. I stand by my pledge to protect these critical areas of ecological diversity and natural word agoal beauty by working to achieve no net loss of wetlands. We must strive to end the needless filling and draining of wetlands and ensure that where they are lost, we replace their valuable services. A Wetlands Task Force has been established within the Domestic Policy Council to recommend ways to achieve this important goal. The change in the sentence "We must strive to end " is particularly important. One of the key tenets of wetlands protection is that creation of wetlands is an uncertain and, in many cases, second best approach, from an ecological point of view. Therefore, avoiding losses is of primary importance there is a presumption that one should only move to replacement if there is no alternative to loss of the wetland. Please give me a call at 395-5750 if you wish to discuss these suggestions. cc. James Cicconi Recycled Paper
