The Utah Democrat said that D-Ut- ah, the proposed regulations have some excellent points which I feel should be given the benefit of a public hearing so that Congress can fully examine the recommendations and make its position known to the Department.

Moss, noted that there should be some provision in the Departments regulations for immediate leasing of Federally-owneoil shale lands to be used by companies which may already have a d commer-cially-feasibl- e process for oil the from the tracting exde- posits. He also said that the maximum of 5,120 acres per lease may be too large, since only 30,000 acres will be made available for leasing under the Departments experimental program. I am in full agreement with that portion of the regulations which would protect recreation and scenic values, and which would guard against air and water pollution as a result of shale development in the three states, Sen. Moss said. I also feel that there should a section in the Departments be Day.
