'I I It •• - r 1 ., , ... I the backing of the major environmental organizations, it is going to take letters from every person who uses the public lands in the California desert for other than hiking to ward o££ the e££ects of this legislation." Peterson explained that Cranston's bill represents an end run to bypass the requiremen ts established by the passage of the Federal Land Policy . and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976. According to information received from BLM State Director Ed Hastey, "Contained within the law [FLPMA], Section 601 was introduced by Senator Cranston for establishment of the California Desert Conservation Area ... [in which] Congress stated the purpose of this section [is]to provide for immediate protection and administration of the public lands in the California Desert within the framework of a program of multiple use and sustained yield and the maintenance of environmental quality." The Los Angeles Times, in an editorial of October 13, 1980, said of the plan, "IL is a balanced plan no one group will be entirely happy with and that's a good sign." O££-road organizations seem to agree that while they are not in total concurrence with the CDCA plan they can live with it. With Cranston's proposal only the preservationists and hikers will be "entirely happy" while the rest of the public lands users lose. • Senator Alan Cranston's address is U.S. Senate, Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510 ...
