Dear Mr. Theberge:

	I found the meeting of the Academic Advisory Council most
interesting, I much admire the work that you have been doing,
and I hope to contribute to it as best I can.

	I would like to recapitulate some of the suggestions that
were made during the meeting, but I am all too aware that most of
them are advice that someone else do something.

	1. It may be possible to get some governors to take part in
the pro-breeder and pro-reprocessing representations.  I remember
that it made a big impression when the NRDC got some governors
involved in one of their suits.

	2. A recent letter mentions a solicitation of funds.  May I
suggest some trial advertisements in one or more magazines devoted
to cars, to hunting, to private flying or to recreational vehicles.
All of these fields have been subjected to oppressive regulation
and have reason to fear even more.  An ad aimed at automobile
enthusiasts could emphasize that the environmentalists have more
in mind in regulating cars than saving energy.  The enclosed
speech by Russell Train illustrates this and might even be quoted.

	3. The original higher court decisions upholding land use
regulations, e.g. zoning, against 14th Amendment attack must have
stated limitations that are not now being observed.

	4. It needs to be emphasized that a previous organizational
or ideological commitment can be even more corrupting than a previous
business commitment for a government official.  The environmentalists
have been so self-righteous that is very probable that some of them
will exhibit conflicts of interest of the most flagrant character.

	I hope Jim Hieronymus will get the "residency" and that
he will be useful to you.

    NO MORE PROOF SETS - The Bureau of the Mint has cut off orders for
1977 proof coin sets and has announced it will accept orders for
uncirculated sets starting this fall.
    The proof sets are specially made, highly polished coins designed
for collectors only. The uncirculated sets, which are less expensive,
are regular coins that have been left over and not put into
circulation.
    The opening date for orders for the uncirculated sets will be
announced later. If you want to get on the mailing list to receive
order forms for the uncirculated coins, write to the Bureau of the
Mint, 55 Mint St., San Francisco, Calif., 94175.

    FOREST LAND MANAGEMENT - The U.S. Forest Service wants your ideas to
help it prepare guidelines for management of the nation's public
lands.
    The service has requested suggestions from mining and lumber
interests, labor unions and environmental and conservation groups.
    But opinions from the general public are also being sought. Persons
interested in assisting in the planning process should contact Larry
Hill, Land Management Planning Staff, Forest Service, U.S. Department
of Agriculture, P.O. Box 2417, Washington, D.C., 20013.
