' Moss cautioned that as America enters its third century we must not only be thinking of what our government should do, but also what it shouldn't be doing or even attempting to do." In a talk prepared for delivery at the Area II Explorer Presidents' Association Conference at Utah State University, he said the nation must do more than just "beef" about too much government. Congress must act to trim the dead wood, and the administration must rein in on overregulation, Moss said. We must rely more anniversary.s Moss said. Approval on Recall Papers Issues by Committees The Legislature's Intergovernmental Relations Committee has voted to have a research analyst prepare a position paper" on recall for consideration at its next meeting. Members directed Martha research analyst, who already has prepared a lengthy report on recall proposals in Utah and recall laws in surrounding states, to summarize her feelings. The Legislature recently turned down an initiative petition that now will go on the November ballot. The Intergovernmental Relations Committee considered alternatives there are on recall because the Legislature objected to the version proposed by the initiative petition. Rep. Lee W. Farnsworth, said there are many things wrong with the recall proposal since it is unconstitutional and 10 percent of the voters required to remove an official is too low. He said he would like to participate in writing the opposition side to an educational pamphlet on recall that will be written. Farnsworth also suggested the position paper in opposition to the proposed recall measure.

In a letter to Everhardt, Congressman Howe stated, It is my understanding that you are authorized under provisions of the Clean Air Act to conduct a study of air quality in our national park system and make recommendations to the Environmental Protection Agency regarding the proper classification P quality environin national ment all our park areas is, in my determination, absolutely essential to the integrity of these areas. I certainly seek no argument over the advisability of conducting a study that would lead to the protection of quality air in our national parks. I am surprised that such a study was launched at such a late hour in the process of consider- ing the Environmental Impact Statement on Kaiparowits. Rep. Howe told Everhardt he is concerned over any possible delay in construction of the Kaiparowits Project that may result from the timing of the Park Service study and said, As you know, the planning process for theKaiparowits Project has been underway since the early 1960's and has been jammed by several delays. These delays have pprovoked extreme consternation in the minds of many over the ability of our federal ..
