FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







No. 42
CALIFORNIA WILDERNESS BILL

                
A California Wilderness Bill, H.R. 4083, the California Wilderness Act of 1981, has again been passed in the House, on July 17, 1981.  This bill, essentially the same as H.R. 7702 which passed in the House in the last session but died in the Senate, is an artful compromise crafted by Rep. Phillip Burton and greed upon by nearly all concerned groups in California.


This bill, introduced by Sen. Alan Cranston (Calif.) is now in the Senate in nearly identical form, and has been referred to the Committe on Energy and Natural Resources (Sen. James McClure of Idaho, Chairman).  This bill should be favorably reported out of committee and passed by the Senate because it not only offers wilderness protection to many vital areas in California but also serves as a model for similar statewide wilderness bills.


Accordingly, the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs urges the Senate to pass the California Wilderness Act of 1981.
