Dear Mr. Helliker, I thought you might like to read an article dated Wednesday, April 17, 2002 By Mark Warbis, Associated Press.

" BOISE , Idaho - More than 100 Idaho farmers and ranchers sued E.I. duPont de Nemours and Co. on Tuesday, seeking potentially hundreds of millions of dollars for crop damage allegedly done by the herbicide Oust.

Aerial and ground applicators of the DuPont chemical also were named in the 5th District Court lawsuit, and a claim raising the same allegations was filed against the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

The precise amount of damages is to be determined at trial, including loss of profits, land value, production capacity, rental income, and reputation. Boise attorney Walter Bithell, representing the landowners, said the total could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
