Rampton and the Board of the Salt Lake City, Chamber of Commerce urging them to write the Senate. Public Works Committee with their views on proposed Clean Air Act Amendments. Moss said several members mem-bers of the Senate Committee have indicated to him that there has been insufficient innnt fnr rnmmittpp rnn- sideration of the effects which alternate final drafts of the Clean Air Act could have on individual states. "Therefore," he said, "I'm urging the Governor and the Chamber to make it unmistakably un-mistakably clear to the committee what Utah's position is with regard to possible Clean Air Act amendments." 'He said the more severe drafts of the Clean Air Act would seriously hamper the development of energy resources in Utah. As an example, he said that if Class 1 mandated areas included national parks and monuments, if anything approaching 40 mile buffer zones were required around Gam Wants Committee To "washing'ton, ri:ic(& l Ut) announced he has signed a resolution which would establish a Select Committee to investigate abuses in the ' labor-ma ha gemerrt field, "'Particularly the Teamsters Union." t "Coneress has been active. of late, in establishing Select Committees to investigate almost everything and everybody, from the CIA and political abuses to questionable business practices," Sen. Gam said. "I think they are necessary.' But one thing we have continually con-tinually overlooked, intentionally in-tentionally or otherwise, is abuses in the field of labor and management, particularly par-ticularly big labor. - "It is expected that such a committee would focus on the disappearance of former Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, its implications, if any, for Teamster members and others in the country, as well as a number of serious allegations relating to investment in-vestment of.

Moss said he urged the committee last week not to make air quality decisions for the whole country, but to consider each state's particular par-ticular needs and problems. . "Utah, with its vast resources of coal, oil shale, tar sands and uranium, is in a position to contribute significantly to the nation's energy needs," Moss said. "In fact, Utah alone can possibly make as great a contribution as any other state. But that contribution won't amount to much if we are forced to guard our atmosphere at-mosphere so jealously that all our areas, rich in these minerals, are removed from development." Moss said much of the future of Utah would be dependent on the outcome of the Clean Air Act deliberations. "Any decision severely restricting the development of our energy resources would be a serious setback to our economy," he said, "not just for the immediate im-mediate future, but for the long-term future as well."

The rapid establishment of a committee to investigate labor union abuses and corruption, especially in the Teamsters Union, will be a great service to rank and file union ' members and the country as a whole." Sen. Garn said the Select Committee would have jurisdiction and objectives similar to those of the McClellan Committee which "did an outstanding job" in the same field in the 1950,'s. 'The work of that Committee Com-mittee culminated in enactment enact-ment of the Labor-Management Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, perhaps better known as the Landrum-Griffin law," Sen. Gain said. "That was ' a landmark law and I anticipate an-ticipate the committee we are seeking to establish would have an equally large impact on labor-management relations."
