Johnson Valley Action Needed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Below is a list of members of the House Committee on Armed Services. These are the key congressional representatives that need to hear that you are opposed to Marine Corps encroachment in the Johnson Valley and Stoddard Wells Off Highway Vehicle Recreation Areas managed by the Bureau of Land Management in the southern California desert.Letters and faxes can be sent to the House Committee on Armed Services address.If one of the House Members is your elected representative, their wab site link is provided. Please go to their web page and leave them a message.Talking points:The recent Western Mojave Resource Management Plan identifies Johnson Valley and Stoddard Wells as recreation areas. There are no other options for that type of recreation in the southern California desert as all other areas have been designated wilderness or military reserve and off-limits to the public.The loss of recreation would have a significant economic impact on the surrounding rural communities; an impact that would not be replaced by military activity.The proposal calls for acquisition of private lands. That acquisition would remove private lands from the local property tax base causing serious economic impact in the surrounding rural communities; an impact that is not mitigated by increased government support to the local economy.************************************Committee on Armed Services2120 Rayburn House Office BuildingWashington, D.C. 20515Phone: (202) 225-4151Fax: (202) 225-9077*******************Ike Skelton, Missouri, Chairmanhttp://www.house.gov/skelton/Duncan Hunter, California, Ranking Memberhttp://www.house.gov/hunterJohn Spratt, South Carolinahttp://www.house.gov/spratt/Jim Saxton, New Jerseyhttp://www.house.gov/saxtonSolomon P.
