Assemblyman Leland Yee is holding a press conference this Friday in
Pacifica
to garner support for his proposed legislation to ensure that
California's
coastal waters are safe from off shore oil drilling.

I know this is short notice, but we'd like to see a packed room of
supporters.

Here's the details and thanks in advance for your continued support of
our

PRESS CONFERENCE


ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS UNITE AGAINST OFFSHORE DRILLING
Speaker pro Tem Yee to Introduce Resolution Calling for a Continuation
of
Offshore Drilling Moratorium

Who: Speaker pro Tempore Leland Y. Yee, Ph.D.
Supervisor Richard S. Gordon, County of San Mateo
Mayor Julie Lancelle & Councilmember Jim Vreeland, City of
Pacifica
Richard Charter, Environmental Defense
Kate Wing & David Newman, Natural Resources Defense Council
Tim Eichenberg, Ocean Conservancy
Carl Zichella, Sierra Club
April Vargas, Committee for Green Foothills and Vote the
Coast

When: Friday, April 1, 2005 at 10:15 A.M.

Where: Pacifica City Council Chambers (outside by Pacific Ocean
shoreline)
2212 Beach Boulevard
Pacifica, California

What: A broad coalition of environmental organizations will join
local and
state political leaders on the shores of the Pacific Ocean to protest a
federal omnibus energy bill and a US House Resources Committee bill
called
SEACOR (State Enhanced Authority for Coastal and Offshore Resources
Act).
The two measures would undermine the longstanding offshore oil drilling
moratorium that exists off the coasts of California, Washington,
Oregon, and
other US coastal states. Speaker pro Tem Leland Yee will also announce
Assembly Joint Resolution 14, which calls for a continuation of the
federal
offshore leasing moratorium and officially affirms California's
opposition
to the damaging coastal provisions of the SEACOR bill.
