Panel Overrides Endangered Species Act to Permit Logging
A 5-2 vote by a federal Endangered Species Committee granted an exemption to the Endangered Species Act allowing logging on 1,700 acres of western Oregon forests vital to the northern spotted owl.

Interior Secretary Manual Lujan Jr. framed the decision as balancing ecological protection with regional economic needs.
