While exploring with two of my friends I found the following note below Imperial Cain on in the Canyon. "Ray I loggan. Bert tall. Dick Carlson.

So nine months after President Clinton made a campaign stop in Arizona, mind you at the Grand Canyon to declare the Utah land a monument ofTlimits to development. Utah lawmakers are. if anything, ev en more unhappy about the designation than they were before. "When he designated the monument. complained Utah Republican Chris Cannon at a press conference this week. "President Clinton ignored the law, ignored the facts and ignored the people of Utah. Two state groups have since filed suit, charging that Mr. Clinton violated environmental laws and the federal statute providing for the designation of federal monuments, the 1906 Antiquities Act. The Utah Association of Counties alleges the president illegally used the act to effect the preservation of wilderness, an authority which Congress has reserved for itself. cessfully. Perhaps you hae an article about their narrow escape or e. The designation also violated the Federal Land Policy Management Act, according to the suit, which requires notice and comment beforehand. In a statement. Mr. Cannon said the White House briefed officials in Colorado. Nevada, Wyoming. Montana and New Mexico on the plan six weeks in advance and invited comment from them.

The monument also happens to put a coal source that might have competed with the coal Indonesian Friends of Bill, the operations of the family of James Riady. Perhaps its just coincidence. There is one other irony to this controv ersy worthy of note at this environmentally conscious time. Utah's coal reserves are the low -- sulphur, less polluting v ariety. Knocking them out of production raises the cost of lowering emissions. One can only hope these lawsuits will help clear the air. The Washington Times Editorial Section Monday.

Mineral development, including coal production, on the lands surrounded by the monument stood to generate millions of dollars for the education of Utah children. Projects planned for the lands have since been cancelled. The president promised to appoint a commission to trade the trust lands for federal lands considered equally productive but less environmentally sensitive. But a spokesman for Mr. Cannon says the president has yet to appoint any one. Mr. Clinton, of course, can afford to ignore Utah and its three 35 S.

Jerry enjoyed the production, stating that there were two points in the story that were particularly enjoyable and moving to him; the scene where Brigham Young agrees to send all of the able bodied men he can find to the U.S. Army effort against Mexico, with the backdrop of Captain Moroni, the Boy Scouts and the current U.S. Flag, President George Washington. Thomas Jefferson, and Joseph Smith as influencing him to make this impossible decision to do the right thing: and the ending with the angel choir, where the maximum amount of the stage area is used. He was impressed with the technical smoothness of the pageant the workers, the the sweeping vistas and geologic marvels he sees there. The irony, howev er, is that most of the scenery he describes isn't in the only recently acquired a copy of it on my second isit to the Canyon.
