The Wisconsin Assembly has voted 91-7 to concur with
the strengthened Senate version of the Sulfide Mining Moratorium
Bill (Senate Bill 3).  The bill now goes to Governor Tommy Thompson for
his signature or veto.  Bill supporters would need to keep two-thirds
of Assembly representatives to override a veto.  Please immediately call
the Governor at (608) 266-1212, or e-mail wisgov@mail.state.wi.us
to ask Thompson to sign SB3!   Thompson is backing down on his threats
to close casinos if tribes don't cave in on environmental and treaty issues,
at least until after this year's election.  He can similarly sign SB3 to
avoid portraying himself as an enemy of the environment.

By Kevin Pamba

SYDNEY, Jan 30 (IPS) - A regional approach by South Pacific
countries is paying off in efforts to end a nine-year rebellion in
Papua New Guinea, judging by a permanent truce reached among rival
groups last week.

The latest accord is expected to go a long way in easing
tensions and improving living conditions in the island of
Bougainville, which is still recovering from the effects of a
blockade by the PNG government lifted only three months ago.

The accord, reached on Jan. 23 at a meeting in Christchurch, New
Zealand, makes permanent an interim truce reached in October in
two rounds of peace talks brokered by the New Zealand government
in Wellington.

Sponsored by Australia and New Zealand, this month's meeting
was attended by more than 200 delegates from South Pacific
countries like Fiji, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands.

Under the agreement, a ''permanent and irrevocable ceasefire''
will take effect in Bougainville beginning Apr. 30. This is a big
step for peace, given the difficulty of past negotiations between
the Bougainville rebels who had been seeking secession from Papua
New Guinea, and the PNG government.

At last week's talks, the Bougainville rebels were led by
Joseph Kabui, self-styled president of the Bougainville Interim
Government (BIG).

The truce came after a bipartisan delegation from the PNG,  led
by Prime Minister Bill Skate and opposition leader Bernard
Narokobi, agreed to one of the key demands of Bougainville rebel
leaders that the government endorse an extended ceasefire-
monitoring operation on the island.

The ceasefire agreement calls for a special U.N. observer
mission to oversee the deployment of the international ceasefire
monitors, and a U.N. peace-keeping force and peace monitoring team
to be invited to Bougainville.

This represented a major turnabout on the part of the PNG
government as, which had always maintained that the nine-year
rebellion sparked by local resentment against copper mining
operations was an ''internal problem''.

At the same time, the rebels see U.N. involvement as a major
boost to their claim for self-determination.

Rival factions on the island and the PNG government also agreed
to ''renounce the use of armed forces and violence and agree to
resolve any differences by consultation'' under the agreement.

In previous rounds of talks in New Zealand, the Bougainville
rebel leaders and New Zealand came up with a declaration that
provides for the withdrawal of PNG armed forces from the island.
Likewise, armed factions in Bougainville were supposed to lay down
their arms and allow negotiations to continue.

This led to the deployment of a South Pacific regional Truce
Monitoring Group, a 290-member contingent of unarmed soldiers led
by New Zealand, to oversee implementation of the temporary
ceasefire.

Now that a permanent truce is in place, further talks will be
held on the Bougainville issue by the end of June, where
discussions will focus on major political decisions on relations
between the island the PNG government.

For now, PNG and Bougainville leaders will work on how to get a
U.N. team to the island and look at the role of the truce monitors --
as well as restoring normalcy in the wake of the lifting of PNG
economic sanctions on the island in October.

The head of the PNG negotiating team and senior politician Sir
John Kaputin, who is from an island province closer to
Bougainville, says no one should have high hopes yet as talks were
''still continuing''.

But the progress of peace talks has come a long way in recent
The Bougainville rebellion stems from a bloody uprising against
PNG by landowners, who were dissatisfied by what they view as the
lack of benefit and proper compensation for damage to the local
environment and lifestyles wrought by mining operations run by the
Australian firm Bougainville Copper Limited.

The giant, open-cut Panguna mine, located in the dense jungle
interior of Bougainville and a main foreign exchange for PNG, has
since been closed down.

More than 10,000 people have died in the rebellion, which began
in 1989. Unrest led to further impoverishment of the island, where
infrastructure has been badly damaged and civil service hobbled.

The Bougainville rebels were fighting for independence from
PNG, but the government in Port Moresby has always said the issue
was non-negotiable.

In 1990, the PNG government imposed a total economic blockade
on Bougainville, cutting off its civilian population from the
outside world and triggering reports of abuses and human rights
violations by government forces. Bougainville students, workers
and other Papua New Guineans were not allowed to enter in the
island.

It was only after the October indefinite truce that many
Bougainvilleans in other parts of PNG were able to visit their
home province for the first time in nine years.

This month's peace deal comes as a triumph for Skate, who
campaigned in the June 1997 polls on a strong anti-corruption
platform. He had spoken out against the hardline policy of the
previous government of Julius Chan, who had hired foreign
mercenaries to ''flush out'' Bougainville rebels and carry out a
''surgical strike'' to end the rebellion.

The 36 million U.S. dollar secret deal by Chan's government was
aborted when it was revealed in the press and triggered by a near-
coup by then PNG army commander Jerry Singirok. Chan had to leave
his post, while the mercenary deal remains under court inquiry to
this day. (END/IPS/AP-IP-DV/KP/JS/98)

3. Urgent Action: Pls fax/email Brazil's President Carduso Now

Kenneth_Walsh                     en.alerts                7:57 AM  Feb  5, 1998
(at edf.org)

From: Kenneth Walsh@EDF on 02/05/98 10:55 AM

February 5, 1998, Washington and Sao Paulo.

We have first hand information that the President of Brazil,
Fernando Henrique Cardoso, is leaning towards not
vetoing key provisions of the Environmental Crimes Act.
However, he says that he has not heard anything from the international
environmental community.  Your fax or email could make a critical
difference.  Our original alert of February 3 follows. Please also
re-distribute this alert electronically.

URGENT ACTION - BRAZIL PRESIDENT THREATENS VETO OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

On January 28th, the Brazilian Congress passed the Environmental Crimes Act
(PL 1.164), giving Brazil's environmental agencies authority to enforce
environmental law for the first time since 1989. President Fernando
Henrique

Cardoso, under pressure from ranchers and industry has agreed to veto
critical parts of the legislation, substantially weakening it. Please fax
or
email President Cardoso urging him not to veto any of the articles of this
critical law.
The law, first introduced by the government in 1991, had passed the House
of
Representatives in 1995, was strengthened in the Senate and passed
unanimously in 1997 under the leadership of Senator Marina Silva. Powerful
agricultural and industrial interests held up the legislation, until the
release last week of official data showing that deforestation in the
Brazilian Amazon in 1995 reached the highest level ever recorded - 29,000
square kilometers, an area equivalent to New Jersey and Connecticut in a
single burning season. The increase in clearing and burning (nearly double
the 1994 rate) was extensively covered in the national and international
press, and the government brought the legislation up for a vote.
Bowing to industry and agriculture lobbies, the government agreed to weaken
the law in the house, and then to the veto of key provisions, including:

? article 5 - allowing lawbreakers to be held responsible for environmental
damage, without having to prove intent to pollute. Currently to assess
penalties for environmental damage, the violator must be shown to have
intended the damage ;
? article 43 - making it a felony to use fire in forests without taking
measures to prevent its spread. Weakening this provision at the very moment
in which the threat of large scale uncontrolled fires in the Amazon is
greater than ever before is astoundingly shortsighted. With other changes
made in House, removing article 43 practically invites deforestation of the
so-called "legal reserves", the part of private properties in forested
regions that are to be maintained under forest cover.
? article 47 -   which makes it a crime to export flora, germplasm or plant
products without official license.

Removing these and at least four other key items of the bill will seriously
undermine legislation that is critical to the future of the greatest
remaining tropical forest in the world.  Please urge President Cardoso to
abstain from further weakening PL 1.164.
Fax or email the President now. He is expected to act in the coming days.
Exmo. Sr.
Fernando Henrique Cardoso

 Palacio do Planalto
Fax - 55-61-321-7022              email:   pr@planalto.gov.br
                                   -  Model letter -

Dear Mr. President:

I share the concerns of  Brazilian environmentalists with the consequences
of weakening the Environmental Crimes Act  (PL 1.164) for Brazil's natural
patrimony, and the quality of life of Brazil's population.
As was widely reported in the press, this law was already considerably
weakened before  the vote in the House of Representatives last week.
Several
important items approved by the Senate were removed or diluted.
Environmental law enforcement in Brazil will be more difficult as a result.
It is now up to you, Mr. President, to maintain the positive points that
remain in the Environmental Crimes Act and ensure a better future for
generations of Brazilians and the world.
I respectfully urge you to approve the environmental crimes act without
vetoes, and show that your government is committed to the larger interests
of Brazil and the planet.
Sincerely,

4. The MAI and municipalities

shniad                            list.labor              11:27 AM  Feb  5, 1998
(at SFU.CA)

There's an excellent, highly readable analysis of the MAI and its potential
impact on municipalities available on the WWW. Written by international
trade law expert Barry Appleton, it explains in clear language the extensive
threat that this pending international agreement poses to municipalities'
ability to address their residents needs.

I'd urge anyone interested in the MAI as well as anyone whose life is
affected by the role of municipal governments -- their purchasing, zoning
and other activities -- to check out this analysis and to pass it on to others
while there's still time to turn this threat around.

b. TRADE: Takings Goes Global With A Big Business "Bill of Rights"

SC-ACTION #14, III
DEFENDING THE ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA
Feb. 3, 1998

"Irresponsible logging is the most significant impact on wild coho
streams.  Pacific Lumber's actions make a mockery of the Endangered
Species Act."

-- Elyssa Rosen, Sierra Club, as quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle
(1/27/98)

Taxpayers, hold onto your wallets!  Corporate America is about to pick
your pocket.

Come the middle of February, a team of Clinton Administration
officials will fly off to Paris, France to hammer out final details of
a global big business "bill of rights" called the Multilateral
Agreement on Investment -- MAI.

But buried in the MAI's fine print is a big surprise for Ted and Tina
Taxpayer.  Under the guise of "protecting investors", the MAI will
allow foreign corporations that own factories, land and other property
here to sue the federal government for damages if ANY federal, state,
or local law in any way hurts their profits.

Taxpayers could even be forced to compensate foreign-owned companies
for laws that, say, keep toxic pollution out of our air and water.

That's right.  We'd actually have to pay the polluters to keep our
environment clean for our kid's health.

This scenario is hardly far fetched.  Already, Ethyl Corp. of Virginia
has sued Canada for $250 million in damages under a similar provision
of NAFTA because Canada dared to ban a toxic gasoline additive made by
the company.

Our Senators may soon have to vote on whether to adopt the MAI as a
treaty.  Urge them to vote "no."  Big business doesn't need a global
bill of rights that hurts the taxpayer, the environment, and our
children's future.

forum covering trends, issues and opportunities that surround the global
community.

    ENVIROVISION has a specialized infrastructure of technology, marketing,
communications and distributions expertise that is able to help consultants
and other Strategic Management specialists reach out to business and industry
leaders.  Recognized experts, such as the Environmental Protection Agency,
provide constant programming expertise and support.

    The network's first program, The Medical Waste Incinerator, was broadcast
as a public service by the Environmental Protection Agency and ENVIROVISION.
A panel of EPA specialists and scientists as well as representatives from
various hospitals and states covered topics such as:  state requirements,
alternatives to waste incineration, cost impacts, public outreach, and
pollution prevention.  A second program, The Health Care Industry's Impact on
the Environment:  Strategies for Global Change, was produced and distributed
in cooperation with the University of Vermont and the Environmental Protection
Agency.  The videoconference educated viewers in the use and disposal of
medical supplies and the effect of environmental pollution due to medical

8. Action Alert - Immediately! Threat to the Great Lakes!

Date: Thu, 05 Feb 1998 09:24:26 -0800
From: Debby  Ortman <lakes@cp.duluth.mn.us>

The Governor of Minnesota, Arne Carlson wants to force people in
Duluth to have the USS Des Moines war cruiser permanently berthed on its
waterfront and designated as a state park. This ocean going vessel (716 ft.
long and 10 stories high) will be brought through the Great Lakes to
Duluth. This ship may contain enough mercury to contaminate the entire
Great Lakes ecosystem! We have been trying to get confirmation from the
governors office, the Navy and the EPA whether there is mercury on this
ship(see below) but to no avail.  We need your help!
Please write, call or fax your comments to the MN DNR(address below) and
let them know that this ship should not be brought into
the Great Lakes until all mercury, PCBs, asbestos and lead are
totally removed. This ship will be towed to Duluth and could sink, it
has been mothballed since 1961! Duluth is at the headwaters to
the Great Lakes on Lake Superior.  Also, alert other organizations
and your states legislators and governors, congresssional officials and
 provincial leaders to take action. This is a  potential serious threat to
the Great Lakes. Email me if you need additional information.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACT SHEET

Veterans Memorial State Park and USS Des Moines Cruiser

According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in their
         Environmental Assessment Worksheet, the cruiser "may"  contain the
following:
- Asbestos (wrapped around pipes): the DNR proposes that all asbestos
  be encapsulated or sealed, not removed;
- Lead Paint: the DNR proposes to remove loose lead paint and sound paint
   will be encapsulated with sealant;
- PCBs: the DNR proposes that polychlorinated biphenols in public areas
will be removed  according to United States Environmental Protection Agency
standards;
- Fuel: the DNR proposes to remove fuel by a licensed fuel recycler;

According to the MN DNR in their EAW:
-  Slip 4: (where the cruiser will be berthed)  will be excavated, 132,000
cubic yards of fill material will be removed. It is currently unknown if
this material
is contaminated with hazardous waste.
-  The approach area to Slip 4: will require "minor dredging", dredge
spoils will be barged to the Erie Pier Contained Disposal Facility. The EAW
does not state what contaminates have been found in this harbor sediment.
According to an EPA Executive Summary Report, 3/97, the following
contaminates have been found in the Duluth/Superior Harbor sediments:
mercury, PCBs, PAHs, toxaphene, 2-3-7-8 TCDD/TCDF-dioxin, DDT, arsenic,
cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, thirteen pesticides, and
ammonia.

THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT-TO-KNOW:
Mercury
The public has a right-to-know whether the ship contains mercury (commonly
found in light switches, heating controls, and lighting fixtures); mercury
may also be found in a gyroscope (a gyroscope may contain a quart of
mercury = 26 lbs., which is enough to contaminate 26 million pounds of
fish, using the FDA standard of 1 part per million); mercury may also be
found in other types of instruments or equipment used on the ship for
leveling - balancing loads, and temperature gauges; mercury may also be
found in anti-fungal paint; and mercury(in residual amounts) may also be
found in areas were explosives were used and/or stored. No mention of
mercury is in the EAW.

Butyl-tin compounds
The public has a right-to-know whether the ship contains butyl-tin compounds.
Butyl-tin compounds are found in anti-fouling paints which are applied to
the hull of a ship. These compounds are highly toxic to freshwater aquatic
organisms. There is no mention of any butyl-tin compounds in the EAW.

Asbestos, PCB's and Lead Paint
1) The public has a right-to-know exactly where these toxins are located on
the ship and how much asbestos, PCBs(electrical transformers) and lead
paint are on the USS Des Moines.
2) The public has a right to know exactly how these toxins will be
remediated and/or removed.
3) The public has a right-to-know what the exact costs will be for remediating
all of these toxins.
4) The public has a right-to-know what other toxins have been found on
the USS Des Moines.

Slip 4
The public has a right-to-know exactly what contaminates the 132,000 cubic
yards of fill material contains and how it will be remediated.

Harbor Sediments
The public has a right-to-know exactly how much dredging is necessary
within the harbor to be able to dock the USS Des Moines. The public has a
right-to-know exactly what contaminates the sediments contain and how they
will be remediated.

Other Environmental Concern:
The EAW does not adequately address visual blight, air and noise pollution.

What can you do?
Contact MN DNR and tell them you want to know:
- exactly what toxins are found on the USS Des Moines!
- exactly what toxins are found in Slip 4!
- exactly what toxins are found in harbor sediments!
- the exact total costs to remediate all of these toxins!
- tell them you want an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) done because
of the "potential for significant environmental effects" of this project!

Written comments to the EAW must be received by 2/11/98, send to:
