SENATORS TED STEVENS OF ALASKA, MARK HATFIELD AND BOB PACKWOOD
OF OREGON AND GOVERNOR DAN EVANS OF WASHINGTON HAVE BEEN
OUTSPOKEN AND EFFECTIVE IN PROTECTING THE QUALITY OF DEVELOPMENT
IN THE NATURALLY RICH NORTHWEST REGION.

THE BALANCING OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND ENERGY
DEMANDS WILL BECOME EVEN MORE CRUCIAL IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
THE SOLUTION OF ECONOMIC PROBLEMS STILL FACING US MUST BE HIGH
ON OUR NATIONAL AGENDA.

REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP AT THE LOCAL, STATE AND
NATIONAL LEVEL MUST JOIN TOGETHER TO HELP SOLVE THESE IMMEDIATE
PROBLEMS AND SEEK LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS TO OTHERS.
WE NEED
IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL MORE SOUND REPUBLICAN VOICES FROM YOUR

WE NEED BACK EAST MORE OF THE SPIRIT
OF THE WEST WHICH HELPED TO MAKE THIS REGION OF AMERICA so GREAT.

OTHER REPUBLICANS IN OTHER AREAS TO NEW METHODS OF COMMUNICATION
AND COOPERATION FOR THE COMMON GOOD.
