REMEMBER!! THIS IS YOUR PARK! Clinton woos environmentalists, plans to ban use of public land By Audrey Hudson THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Clinton administration is planning to ban most public use of 5 million acres of federal land in six states to placate environmental voters before the 2000 presidential election. Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt is using his regulatory authority to halt mining, grazing, logging and oil and gas exploration on public lands. In many cases all recreational uses would be banned except walking and meditating. "We have to be wary. They want to appease the extreme environmentalists who have this on their agenda and want this to happen," said Sen. Frank H. Murkowski, Alaska Republican and chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. "In the next -- Continued from Front Page -- 19 months we will see a significant movement to usurp congressional authority." Mr. Babbitt also says he may ask President Clinton to use the Antiquities Act to declare some of the public land a national monument. Among other things, the act authorizes the president to set aside land for preservation. Mr. Clinton received kudos from the environmental community when he used that act during the 1996 presidential campaign. He created the 1.7 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah to stop mining, and oil and gas exploration. In four of the Western states, the administration is hoping to declare or designate: 2.6 million acres in Utah a wilderness study area. 1.5 million acres in Alaska a wilderness area. 505,350 acres in Arizona a national monument. Several miles along the Upper Missouri River in Montana as a national park, conservation area or wildlife refuge. . . . washtimes.com
