<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#252525">Sen. Ron Wyden on Thursday made his big end-of-session move to pass a controversial bill aimed at increasing federal timber harvests in western Oregon. The Oregon Democrat pushed the bill through the Senate
Energy and Natural Resources Committee over the objection of both the timber industry and some environmental groups and he's now seeking to attach it to legislation that Congress is expected to pass before ending its lame-duck session.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
