Fillmore business plan Rebecca Wilson Lawsuit possible to free AF plans The courts may decided whether or not a study on the electronic battlefield the Air Force proposes to build in the West Desert will be made public Steve Erickson spokesman for the Salt Lake military watchdog group Downwinders Inc wants lo sec updated versions of the report the Air Force has shared with state officials beginning in April 1988 Those state officials have agreed with an Air Force request to deny public access to the reports State science adviser Dr Randy Moon denied Erickson's original request Erickson appealed the denial to the State Records Committee which also turned him down Committee e ecuttve secretary Jef- frey Johnson told Enckson in a July 3 letter that mcmbcis fell they had no authority to hear lfs appeal under the Utah Infomation Practices Act for classifying the report ts accessible because as it contains “no data on individuals" the Act requires Erickson said the Act covers any document “made or received" by a state official such as Moon In tvldiUon Enckson said under Utah’s Public and Private Writings Act the In report should still be made available Erickson told a letter dated July 12 Moon “If do not receive permission for access to this document in a timely manner I intend to pursue my right to inspect it by requesting a declaratory court" judgement to that effect in district Enckson said Moon told him his i copy was returned to Air Force officials at their request He said Moon may have thus disposed of the report m violation of state law Ii is noi known if the slate has any other copy The report Enckson wants to sec ts the September 1988 version of the Draft of Proposed Action and Alternatives for the Electronic Combat Test Capability the Air Force is proposing as an ex pan sion of the Utah Test and Training Range in the West Desert If approved the S3 billion project will test sophisticated electronic weaponry and systems under simulated combat conditions Part of the project consists of facilities that would be built south of the UTTR in western Juab and Millard counties Enckson got a copy of the unclassi fied April 1988 version of the DOPAA sources in March 1989 through unofficial Al least four updates have been written since then hut none have been made public despite Erickson’s efforts Air Force officials say the reports are inter nal draft documents not meant for public release although they are not classified secret Assistant Utah Attorney General Brent H Cameron in a letter dated April 18 said he felt the matter may be subject lo "the concept of federal supremacy" thus taken out of the state's hands Cameron is also a member of the State Records Committee "The practical solution" Cameron suggested may be for Erickson to get the information with the help of Utah’s congressional delegation Fillmore Mayor Keith Gillins met with Marriott Hotel officials Thursday July 18 at their international in Washington DC headquarters in
