Kimball, executive vice president of the National Wildlife Federation has written the governors of six western states to warn thm against legislation supporting to so called Sagebrush Rebellion-t- he transfer of federalinto state ownerland owned ly ship. In his letter to the governors Bruce Babbitt of Arizona, Richard D. Lamm of Colorado, John v. Evans of Edaho, Bruce King of New Mexico, Dixy Lee Ray of Washington, and Ed Hershler of Wyoming, Kimball explained that the 4.5 million member Fereation has always supported the concept of managing the nation's federal lands and resources for the public good. Transfer of ownershop of the lands to the states could result in mismanagement of these valuable public resources, Kimball said. While noting that the Sagebrush Rebellion grew from dissatisfactions over tiie incresing restraints on the use of public lands, especially recent reductions in grazing allotments, Kimball emphasized that these reductions are based on enviommental assessments and jmanagement jplans developed by the Bureau of Land Management in an attempt to balance the competing uses of our natural resources. . Because the states would find the cost of properly managing the lands unberable, they would be forced to sell them to the highest bidder, Kimball predicted, and thus many of the lands would jpass to provate ownershop. this, Kimball warned, would mean a loss of public access for hunting, fishing, hiking, caping, and other recreational activities. Rebellion bills now pending in Congress, Kimball said, would. Cont. from front pg. affect the six states as follows: Arizona (Bills under consideration: HB 2001 and SB 1012) In 1979 BJM's expenditures totalled expenditures totalled $3,538,000 and receipts from uses such as grazing arid mineral leasing $19,903,000 and receipts from such uses as grazing and mineral totalled $370,000. total deficit resulting from a transfer of public lands to the state would be leasing totalled $4,298,000. .The total deficit resulting from a transfer of public lands to state ownershop would be $15,605,000. Forty four percent of the state's land is federally owned. Colorado (Bill under consideration: HJR 1006) in 1979 BLM's expenditures totalled $44,476,000 and receipts from uses such as grazing and mineral $3,168,000.Twenty nine percent of the states land is federally owned., Wyoming (Bill under' consideration: HB 6) In 1979 BLM expenditures totalled $98,710,000 including $77,233,000 paid directly to the state.
