In fact,these 1ssues,plusthe political campaigns of this Presidential electfon year,are expected to so dominatethe scene that Congress may have 1ittle time orinclination to complete action on somepending natural resource and/or environmental legislation.  \nThe President presented his \"State of the Union\"message on January 23,which gaverelatively 1ittle attention to environmental matters(see following summary).That wasfollowed this week by his annual budget message,which set the stage for rousing debateson spending for national defense and other expensive programs at a time when \"Propositfon13\"and government austerity is sti1l more than a memory.  \nOne important resource issue to be resolved is the fate of Alaska lands.The SenategIves no indication that itwill follow the lead of the House and debate H.R。39 any time8oon,even though the SALT II treaty is no longer an obstacle on the calendar.If Alaskadoes come up,conservationists will support the so-called Tsongas substitute rather thanthe vers1on reported by the Senate Energy Committee.Adoption of this substitute bi11would bring the Senate much closer to the House version passed last year,and expeditework of a conference committee.  \nThree energy_bi11s in different Senate-House conference committees presentdifficulties.One,S.932,would establish an ambitious synthetic fuels program through aquasigovernmental Synthetic Fuels Corporation.Although conferees agree on the framework,many details remain to be worked out.This bil1 would also establish a big gasoholprogram,several energy conservation programs,set up a solar bank,encourage geothermalpower,and support an acid rain research effort.Parts of these proposals are contro-versia1.A second energy bi11,which would create an Energy Mobi1ization Board,findsSenate conferees refusing to join their House counterparts on wafver of substantive 1aws1ike the Clean Water Act.The third energy bi11,which would impose a windfall profitstax on crude o11,finds House conferees balking at some Senate provisions that includesignificant incentives for energy conservation and use of alternative energy sources such8s solar and geothermal.  \nConservationists wi1l also be watching s.1403,the Senate-passed proposal which wouldweaken the Surface Mining Act.Allegedly intended to make more energy avallable bydecreasing environmental constraints on strip-mining activities,the bi1l has not yetcleared the House Committee on Interlor and Insular Affafrs.  Another bill dealing withcoal,the controversial slurry pipeline proposal(H。R。4370),wi1111kely be given earlyconsideration by the House.  \nA virtually sure thing in any election year is approval of an omnibus flood controland water projects bi11.H。R.4788,as reported from the House Public Works Committee,hasso many bad features that the Coalition for Water Project Review,a group of_environmentaland conservation organizations,has taken to issuing \"Profiles in Pork.\"This series ofpress releases has been used to highlight a different \"1oser\"project each week sinceNovember.A sfmilar bil1,s.703,has not yet cleared its Senate subcommittee。  \nAnother subject of intense lobbying in the Congress are bills to create a \"superfund\"to finance cleanup of hazardous waste.Conervationists generally are supporting H。R.5790and S.1480,which provide for industries to 1argely or totally finance the cleanup ofdumpsites contaminated by their toxic wastes,  As might be expected,industrles areattempting to get the superfund financed by tax money.  \nOther 11kely topics for legislation:  \nFish and Wi1d11fe:  The House has passed H.R.3292,  which authorizes generalapproprlation funding for a f","cbCaionE7fijptWX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaionE7fijptWX","pdf",722142,"English","# Environmental Issues Likely to Get Little Attention in Congress\n## Congress session context and priorities\n## Alaska lands and related resource legislation\n## Major energy proposals in conference committees\n## Conservation, mining, and coal-related bills\n## Flood control, water projects, and pork-barrel criticism\n## Superfund and hazardous-waste cleanup financing\n## Likely legislative topics\n## Fish and wildlife\n## Coastal zone management\n## Firearms\n## Parks\n## Wildernesses","[{\"question\":\"Why may Congress give limited attention to environmental and natural resource legislation in 1980?\",\"answer\":\"The report ties the expected shortfall to competing issues in Iran, Soviet actions in Afghanistan, inflation, energy shortages, unemployment, and the intense political campaigns of the Presidential election year, leaving Congress little time or inclination for remaining resource and environmental measures.\"},{\"question\":\"What alternative approach does the report mention for Alaska lands conservation?\",\"answer\":\"It states that conservationists would support the so-called Tsongas substitute rather than the version reported by the Senate Energy Committee, which would bring the Senate closer to the House version and speed work of a conference committee.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report describe controversy around energy bills and environmental law waivers?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that multiple energy proposals face disputes in conference, including disagreement over substantive law waivers such as the Clean Water Act for an Energy Mobilization Board, and other provisions that include incentives tied to conservation and alternative energy sources.\"}]","Environmental Issues Likely to Get Little Attention in Congress | PDF",1789964655]
