Environment group opposes
presidential timber ore
er
A national organization formed to keep the Department of Interior abreast of student feelings toward environmental problems made two suggestions at a meeting last weekend concerning restructuring the government and an executive order dealing with timber rights.
Tee Guidotti, a senior in biological sciences, is an alternate representative for the Pacific Southwest region and attended the conference, held in San Francisco at the offices of the Federal Water Quality Administration.
The organization, Student Council on Pollution in the Environment (SCOPE), was the idea of Walter Hickel, secretary of the interior, who felt there should be an organization where opinions about issues affecting the environment could be heard and organized.
The national organization was broken down into nine regions, with California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Hawaii comprising the Pacific Southwest region.
At the regional meeting in San Francisco, the organization went on record as opposing President Richard Nixon’s executive order authorizing an increased cut in the National Forest after a similar proposal was defeated in the House of Representatives.
Talking about the defeated bill, Guidotti said:
“It would have just been a total ripoff on the forests. In effect it accepted the timber industry’s statement that we are in a serious shortage of lumber, which doesn’t quite go with the facts and it doesn’t quite go with the fact that there is a building slump, and it doesn’t quite go with the fact that we are exporting wood from the United States.”
Guidotti said Nixon’s order would have the same effect.
“We strongly protested that as being very counter to the whole spirit of the democratic system. Now you just don’t do that sort of thing—when Congress, which is representative of the citizens, turned it down.”
Concerning reorganization of the government, Guidotti said Hickle, and many ecology groups would like to see all areas which deal with environmental problems administered by one de-. partment. This idea has not gotten too far, he said, but added that a new agency, the Environmental Protection Administration was being formed- It would contain groups such as the Federal Water Quality Administration.
“Anything about environmental control or protection would bt coming under the EPA,” Guidotti said. “Now this agency would have independent agency status, very much like NASA. But the hitch is that it is not a department. And agencies like this, almost never, by definition, have the clout in Washington that a department does.”
Guidotti said his group would like to see a department set up that would handle all aspects of the environment
“We suggest that it be given departmental status and that it be given the power, which would be almost unprecedented, in government today, to halt and delay any construction project that any other branch of the government sets out on if there’s any question about what it’s going to do to the earth.”	,
Once the opinions of the group are established, the regional Washington representative meets directly with Hickel.
