For the Record Thursday, March 29, 2001; Page A22 From remarks by Wilderness Society President William H. Meadows at a news conference yesterday in Washington: President Bush campaigned as a moderate seeking bipartisan solutions. He called himself a "compassionate conservative." Yet in two months his administration has declared war on the environment. . . . The lengthy list of assaults on our health and environment is staggering, from drinking water standards to drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to snowmobiles running out of control in Yellowstone National Park, and there's more every day. Now . . . the Bush administration has decided to turn back its commitment that America has made to our allies on global warming: no pursuit of the Kyoto protocols. . . . The chief of the Forest Service has resigned, and in his letter he cites his concern about the Bush administration's lack of interest in protecting the roadless areas in our national forests. It does not have to be this way. Protecting our environment has always been a bipartisan effort. . . . We thank the Republican leadership who have already stepped up and helped on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, for example, keeping the drilling in the Arctic out of the budget resolution. Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, the first George Bush -- they all took positive steps to protect our environment. Our message to President George W. Bush is this: Americans demand an end to the assault. Stop the rollbacks. Protect our environment. washingtonpost.com
