MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE
The Honorable
Speaker of the House
Legislature of the State of Washington
Olympia, Washington
Mr. Speaker:
On January 11, 1993, this office certified that we had begun the signature checking process on Initiative to the Legislature #141 which was originally filed with this office on June 11, 1992.
We have completed a canvass of 101,875 signatures out of 159,308 signatures submitted in support of this measure. Of the number canvassed, we have determined that 86,656 were signatures of legal voters, 15,219 were either not registered, illegible or were multiple signatures.
Article II, section 1A of the State Constitution establishes the minimum number of acceptable signatures in order to qualify an initiative measure for the ballot as eight percent of the total votes cast for the office of Governor, or 150,001 signatures. The total number of invalid signatures permissible on Initiative Measure #141, therefore is 9,307 (159,308-150,001).
Since the total number of invalid signatures discovered during the canvassing procedure was 15,219, which exceeds the permissible number, we have terminated the signature checking process and we are unable to certify the measure to you for your consideration.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and affixed the Seal of the State of Washington this 5th day of February, 1993.
(Seal)
Ralph Munro, Secretary of State
There being no objection, the House advanced to the fourth order of business.

WHEREAS, There is a fundamental need to protect old growth forest ecosystems through comprehensive forest management of federal lands; and
WHEREAS, A solution to the forest management crisis must include a perspective that economic needs and ecosystem protection are compatible; and
WHEREAS, The Clinton administration has demonstrated a willingness to bring key parties together in a forest summit and has sought input from many different parties on how, when, and where such a summit might be conducted; and
WHEREAS, Washington officials have offered to host this critical policy summit and to provide logistical support, including tours of forest areas and distressed timber communities; and
WHEREAS, There have been successful conflict resolution efforts in the past in Washington state regarding natural resource disputes by combining summits led by elected officials with more extended consensus efforts among a broad range of interested parties; and
WHEREAS, While the need is great to invest sufficient time to derive a lasting solution, many families in rural communities are in desperate need of early relief from the hardships this conflict has imposed on them;
NOW, THEREFORE, Your Memorialists respectfully pray that you will pursue with all due speed the holding of a forest summit in the Pacific Northwest, with the overall goal of seeking long-term solutions to conflicts between fish and wildlife protection and timber harvesting. We further ask that the ideas and suggestions solicited from officials in the state of Washington be considered in making the important decisions about the conduct of the summit.
We respectfully ask that the following be adopted as guiding principles for the forest summit:
(1) All stakeholders should have a part in the summit process;
(2) Elected leaders should be the core of the process and should be accountable for final decisions;
(3) Information presented at the summit and used by summit participants should be based on the best scientific knowledge available; and
(4) While as great a consensus as possible should be sought at the summit, no one group should have veto power over summit recommendations.
Finally, we ask that the subjects covered by the summit process include the following:
(1) Assistance and retraining for timber workers and their families;
(2) Restoration of forests and salmonid stocks and habitat;
(3) Appropriate amount of preservation of old growth forest stands;
(4) Sustainable timber supply and production;
(5) Recovery areas for endangered or threatened species;
(6) Incentives for private landowners;
(7) The possibility of a federal/state/tribal partnership on ecosystem and landscape management;
(8) Economic development and diversification;
(9) Local government revenue; and
(10) Resolution of litigation.
BE IT RESOLVED, That copies of this Memorial be immediately transmitted, to the Honorable Bill Clinton, President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each member of Congress from the State of Washington."
