It 1s1nflationary.  It is even worse than the Water Resources Approprlations Act,which Ivetoed before;and,with your help and support,I do not intend to allow this proposedlegislation to become law.\"  \nIn the remainder of his address,Carter traced environmental progress beginning.withenactment of the National Environmenta1 Pol1cy Act,concluding that Earth Day '80\"wi¹1give us a time to reflect.\"In other highlights of his speech,the President:  \n—Named passage of Alaska lands and nuclear and hazardous waste disposal bi1lls,plusthe proposed Nationa1 Heritage Policy Act,as items high on his legislative agenda;  \n--Expressed concern about energy waste,and outlined the emphasis he hopes wll1 begiven energy conservation and development of renewable energy resources;  \n--Supported legislation to protect the Salmon River and establish the River of NoReturn Wilderness in Idaho;and  \n--Announced the signing of a proclamation renaming Alaska's Arctic Nationa1 Wi1dlifeRange for the late jurist,Wi1liam 0.Douglas.  \n# Interior Committee Marks Up River of No Return Wilderness Bil1\n\nOn February 27,the House Interior Committee completed its mark-up of s.2009,theRiver of No Return W11derness in Idaho.Although more than 2 mi1l1on acres were includedin the wilderness area,conservationists were disappointed when an amendment offered byRep.Jim Santini(Nev.)to strike the West Panther Creek area passed by a 23-15 vote.RIch in cobalt,this 50,000 acre area is also important habitat for bighorn sheep.Theb111 version that has already passed the Senate does include the West Panther Creekacreage within the Rver of No Return wilderness,although underground mining is allowed.  \nAn amendment offered Rep.Lamar Gudger(N.C.)to release all Rare II non-wildernessstudy areas in the Central Idaho Regfon not included in the proposed River of No ReturnWi1derness area failed by a 24-17 vote.The bi11 was then voted out of Committee.Flooraction is expected in late March.  \n# National Heritage Legislation Now in Both Houses of Congress\n\nOn February 13,Rep.Phi11p Burton(Calif.)introduced H.R.6504,the NationalHeritage Policy Act of 1979.The bill parallels one introduced last September by Sen.Henry Jackson(Wash.)as S.1842.  \nThe original stimulus for a National Heritage Program(NHP)came from PresidentCarter's first Environmental Message of May 1977,in which he directed Interior Depart-ment Secretary Ceci1 Andrus to develop such a proposa1.Results of a task force ofprivate and governmental representatives assembled by Andrus formed the basis of hisSeptember 10 legislative proposal(see Report No.25,9/28/79)and the two bills.  \nThe bills promote a nationa1,systemic approach to natural heritage resourceconservation by integrating efforts by private groups,as well as local,state,andFederal governments.Identification,selection,and protection of unique,rare orrepresentative natural and cultura¹resources through designation as \"natural landmarks\"  \nwould be the main avenue.The NHP would be administered by Interior's Heritage Conserva-tion and Recreation Service.  \nEncompassing the National Register of Historic Places created in 1966,the billswould estab11sh a National Register of Natural Areas,with 1istings ranging from habitatof endangered species to historic buildings,from archaeological sites to unique plantcommunities.A national network of state programs would be created,to receive technicaland financial assistance for planning,acquisition,or development for outdoor recreationand conservation of natural areas.
