FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







_NO.3_
_MONTANA WILDERNESS ACT_





Senator John Melcher has presented a bill to the Congress as the Montana Wilderness Act.  This bill (S 2751) would set aside 1.4 million acres.

On the other hand, the Montana Wildlands Coalition, an alliance of national and local environmental groups, has prepared an alternate proposal, known as Alternative "W", which would set aside 2.8 million acres.  Alternative "W" is a much more reasonable and balanced solution to the historical battle for Montana's national forest roadless lands.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs opposes S 2751 as originally introduced and goes on record in support of alternative "W" of the Montana Wildlands Coalition.
