OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED FOREST SERVICE REGULATIONS
INTENDED TO RESTRICT THE RIGHTS OF
""ASSEMBLY, WORSHIP, AND SPEECH ON PUBLIC LANDS""
Courts have long held that the first amendment protects the
freedom of thought/belief,worship/expression, and peaceable
assembly for those purposes against government suppression. It has
been judicially help that a "plethora of regulations" exist to
address just about any conceivable legitimate interest that may
arise with regard to group use of public lands under Forest Service
stewardship. E.g., ""U.S. v. Rainbow Family"", 694 F. Supp. 294
(S.D. Texas, June 1, 1989).
Fir these reasons I respectfully but emphatically oppose the
proposed U.S. Forest Service regulatory amendments to 36 CFR
Section 251, et. seq. which would:
1) require an "authorization" for peaceable assembly on public
land,
2) require posting of a damage deposit before citizens of a
democracy could meet harmlessly in the public wilderness.
3) require insurance polices before using public lands as a meeting
site for religious, political, or social gatherings,
4) restrict the dissemination of literature.
""PLEASE PRINT LEGIBLY""

** AUDIO RECORDINGS **
Various audio recordings of the Rainbow Gatherings have appeared at one time
or another of both professional and amateur quality. One of the most
beautiful I have heard was taken from the Europa Rainbow by the Cavaglieri del
Sole. [Please email ME >mendicott@igc.apc.org< with information about
others.]

** VIDEO RECORDINGS **
No computer accessible digitized graphical images pertaining to the Rainbow
Gatherings are known to me as of this writing. Contacts for three different
video archives, Luke on site at the Video Kitchen, Tony Crow, and Tobias
Michelson, have various video materials freely available in return for
material costs, such as cassettes and postage. Write for details, including a
self-addressed, stamped envelope or International Reply Coupon. Presumably,
all major U.S. television networks have footage on file of various Rainbow
Gatherings. Also, various U.S. government agencies, in particular the U.S.
Forest Service, have extensive surveillance footage, which they refer to as
'educational' or 'training' material. [If anyone knows the proceedure for
accessing these publicly-owned materials, please email ME
>mendicott@igc.apc.org< with that information.]
