I <br /> believe there is a rational and pragmatic solution to the current controversy that both <br /> protects the greater interests of the species and the residents of your City. <br /> It is toward this end that I would propose we proceed in the following manner. It is <br /> important in the resolution of any controversy to take into consideration the intent and <br /> information available from all stakeholder groups. The Audubon Society, local <br /> residents of the Redwood Shores, recreational groups and others should have both the <br /> opportunity to be heard and the dignity of their interests honored by this effort. It is <br /> the common genius of the people that can often provide the key to resolution of crisis. <br /> I would propose that we conduct a full day of meetings with stakeholders in Redwood <br /> City to listen to their concerns and explore our common objectives. <br /> One of our common objectives is the mutual desire to [rod a forward-looking <br /> permanent resolution to species conservation in the area. The current resolution <br /> imposed by the Fish and Wildlife Service puts people and species in conflict. Finding <br /> a permanent solution that balances the interests of the species with the interests of your <br /> constituents will benefit the parties and the species. Balanced solutions must fully <br /> involve the citizens with species conservation. <br /> [09901-9700/DA030840.035 <br /> ANCHORAGE BEIJING.
