In 1993, the Northwest Office of Friends of the Earth helped organize a
citizen response to APEC in Seattle, WA.  Working with a coalition of human
rights, labor and environmental groups under the theme of "The hidden costs
of free trade", FOE helped publish four issues of ECO - APEC watch which was
distributed to the press and APEC delegates.  A two-hour meeting between
NGO's and the APEC Secretariat was also held.

Andrea Durbin will be attending APEC '96 in the Philippines next month.  She
can be reached at 202- 783-7400 ext. 209.

The Northwest office of Friends of the Earth will also be involved in
helping organize a citizen response to APEC '97 which will be hosted in
Vancouver, B.C. by Canada, next year's host country.
