LAND USE AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION

LEGISLATION

MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1975

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT OF THE
COMMITTEE ON INTERIOR AND INSULAR AFFAIRS,

Washington, D.C.

The subcommittee met pursuant to notice, at 10 o'clock a.m., in room 1324, Longworth House Office Buildings, Hon. Morris K. Udall (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Mr. UDALL. The Subcommittee on Energy and Environment will come to order.

This morning the subcommittee opens hearings on land use legislation. Our witness today will be the Secretary of the Interior, Secretary Morton.

I have a statement that at this point I would like to have submit- . ted for the record.

[The prepared statement of Mr. Udall follows:]

STATEMENT OF HON. MORRIS K. UDALL, A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM THE STATE OF ARIZONA

This morning the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment opens hearings on pending land use legislation, a subject that is not a new one for most Members of the Committee, nor one without controversy. I am pleased that the Secretary of Interior will be here today to open this debate and discussion. Secretary Morton will, I am sure, provide the Committee with some insight and answers concerning the Administration's policy on this vital subject.

In the last Congress, this Subcommittee held eight days of hearings on land use legislation, and over the past four years there have been dozens of hearings and innumerable Committee sessions devoted to this legislation, both in the House and the Senate. Indeed, in the 92nd and 93rd Congress, the Senate passed a land use planning bill, only to have the House fail to act. Last year, H.R. 10294, which I co-sponsored, was reported favorably by the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs but was narrowly defeated on the floor of the House on the question of the adoption of the rule.

Despite the controversy and the setback in the last Congress, our land use problems are not and will not disappear. I am convinced that this is an issue that the Congress must address and which deserves national attention. In introducing a new land use bill in the 94th Congress, Congressman Steelman and I, along with 65 other Members, have expressed our concern and commitment to this vital legislation.

I believe, as I am sure many Members do, that federal legislation and leadership in the area of land use is both necessary and wise. This legislation would provide the stimulus and incentives for land use planning on the State and local levels and also the mechanisms for coordinating federal decision-making concerning land use.
