Nielson is preparing a proposal calling for setting aside 839,000 acres of federal lands in Utah for wilderness designation, a fraction of the amount proposed by other members of the state's congres- sional delegation. Nielson aide J. Morgan lawYoung said the Republican maker thought the 5.1 million acres proposed by Rep. Wayne and the 1.4 Owens, million acres sought by fellow Republican Rep. James Hansen were too much. Nielson's proposal, still in the preliminary stages, aLo may include language to designate 1.2 million acres of wilderness within Utah's national parks.

"I don't think it will ever be answered," Coleman said. "I don't think we came close." Coleman, of the prestigious r, Washington law firm of Cutler and Pickering, was Bundy's lead counsel for nearly three years and was among the witnesses at his Jan. 24 execution. Coleman, whose firm defended Bundy and has defended other condemned inmates free of charge, usually handles civil litigation and recently argued a Social Security disability benefits case before the U.S. Supreme Court. As he defended Bundy, blocking three death warrants before Bundy's execution on the fourth, Coleman purposely kept a low profile. He answered news media questions only about specifics of Bundy's appeals and declined to appear on television news talk shows. In a lengthy telephone interview from his Washington office last week, Coleman reflected upon his dealings with d one of America's murderand best-know- n vestigators were unsatisfying, Coleman said, because Bundy felt the investigators wanted only gory details and body counts. Some investigators have said they believe Bundy was responsible for 50 to 100 murders, but Coleman doubts there are many Bundy left unconfessed and estimates his total at 36 murders. Coleman also played down Bundy's execution eve inter- - Wil-me- most-revile- most-publiciz- ers. In his final days, Bundy was fixated on trying to understand what had caused his uncontrollable drive to brutalize young women, Coleman said. Bundy, convicted of three Florida murders, conto 23 more in four states during talks with investigators who came to Florida State Prison in his last days. "I think he wanted to confess at least since he was arrested in Florida (in 1978) with varying degrees of intensity. I think that more than that, he wanted to talk about not only what he had done, but why," Coleman said. His confessions to police in fessed " felt very sorry for him because I think for the first time it really hit him that he had basically destroyed himself. " James Coleman view with James Dobson, a radio minister and psychoid gist who is a national leader. Bundy told Dobson his crimes were fueled by an addiction to hard-cor- e pornography. "I think that was a little bit of Ted telling the minister what he wanted to hear and Ted offering an explanation that would exonerate him personally," Coleman said. "I had heard that before and I told Ted I never accepted it." Coleman said Bundy was intrigued by his final-wee- k talks with psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis, who focused on he never Bundy's childhood knew his biological father and was raised initially in the home of a sometimes-violein studying the grandfather brutal killer who wore the mask of a handsome, bright and articulate law student. However, because defense efforts were continuing to have Bundy's convictions or nt sentences overturned, there was little chance to have an organized effort to get details of his crimes and to study him, Coleman said. While Coleman argued Bundy had been incompetent to stand trial, Bundy opposed defense efforts to have him found incompetent. The attorney considers Bundy's disruption of his trial defense, including aborting a plea bargain that would have given Bundy life in prison, proof of mental incompetence. During a December 1987 federal appellate hearing, Coleman said, Bundy got tears in his eyes after listening to Tallahassee assistant public defender Michael Minerva testify about Bundy's undermining of his 1979 defense efforts. "I felt very sorry for him because I think for the first time it really hit him that he had basically destroyed himself, and I really don't think he could stop himself," Coleman said. He recalled driving out of the prison near Starke after the execution to see hundreds of people, many college-age- , outside cheering the execu- posed to swing a hammer and try to ring the bell. Rap.

"That was extraordinary. It looked like the crowd you see gathering when you launch a rocket," Coleman said. "He has sort of lost any human quality and he simply had become a symbol. It was just an event." Coleman said he thought, as to he recalled his good-by- e Bundy in his holding cell, that: "He was probably his 37th victim. He executed himself." Coleman, whose college-studedaughter watched him before the Supreme Court, said that as sickening as Bundy's crimes were and as devastated as he would be if his own daughter were so victimized, he felt it important to the justice system to ensure that even a Ted Bundy receives an adequate defene.
