Babbitt endorses plan to transfer research center WASHINGTON, D.C.- - In a letter to Sen. Bob Bennett Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt on Nov. 17 gave his endorsement and pledge of support to a Bennett proposal to transfer the control of the Salt Lake City Research Center from the U.S. Bureau of Mines (BOM) to the state "I enthusiastically support the proposal to retain this valuable resource in Utah upon the closure of the BOM itself," said Babbitt. "It is my intention to transfer ownership of the Salt Lake City Research Center and its equipment to an appropriate locality, university or government entity in Utah when the FY 1996 Appropriations Bill, which authorizes this transfer, is enacted." When the House of Representatives passed the FY '96 Interior Appropriations Bill, they left the Bureau of Mines unfunded and slated for closure. After efforts to restore some Bureau funding failed at the committee level, Bennett, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, helped to include language that would allow BOM facilities to be transferred to appropriate state agencies. Sen. Bennett then formally requested that Sec. Babbitt forbeqr any action to transfer or sell the Utah facility, allowing the state the opportunity to develop a conversion plan. In a colloquy yesterday with Interior Appropriations BenSubcommittee Chairman Sen. Slade Gorton nett clarified that the intent of the legislation passed by the committee is to allow such adoptions by states. Gorton stated, "Such a transfer would permit the private sector, state universities and the state of Utah to work in a cooperative effort to continue important environmental remediation research efforts. This is a unique opportunity to accomplish several goals at once. In keeping with our efforts to downsize the federal government, we can privatize certain government services, reducing the burden on the taxpayer while retaining essential research capabilities within the state of Utah." "The Salt Lake Research Center is considered a leader in its field, providing unique research data that is important to geological science, as well as to Utah," said Bennett, "More importantly, it provides more than 115 valuable jobs for people in our state. This legislation gives the governor the opportunity to apply the flexibility and creativity necessary to ensure that the jobs, services and expertise are maintained in Utah. I am very pleased to receive Sec. Babbitt's endorsement. This cooperative effort between the Congress and the Administration is an example of how the federal government can responsibly downsize, while protecting vital state interests."

Monument & Vault HOLIDAY TREAT, TAKE EXIT 261 262-540- Contest wants poems BUNDERSON FOR A SHINING, will die in car crashes over this Thanksgiving Weekend. To help keep motorists safe this holiday weekend and throughout the winter, the Utah Safety Council offers these winter driving tips. Brush all the snow off your windshield, windows, mirrors, roof, hood and trunk, so that you have clear vision at all times. Minimize gear shifting to prevent skidding, accelerate gradually and brake gently by pumping your brakes. If your car does skid, turn in the direction of the skid, being careful not to over correct. Have an emergency kit in your car at all times in case of an emergency. An ideal kit contains a flashlight, blanket, warning flares, scraper with brush, tow chain, jumper cables, shovel, candle, matches and lastly, tow carpet remnants. A carpet remnant is useful to gain traction if you become stuck. Place the remnants in front of the driving wheels and then slowly drive over them. Traveling with children: Always ensure children are buckled properly at all times. When on long trips, plan rest stops no more than one and a half hours apart. Infants and children enjoy and need lots of attention. Reading, singing and playing games will help keep your children happy. Thanksgiving is a holiday to relax and enjoy your family. Do not let your holiday be interrupted by a tragic accident. The Utah Safety Council has a Winter Driving Checklist available at no charge.
