James R. Harris, Director of the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, and a panel of three environmentalists testified on the 1983 budget request for the Office of Surface Mining (OSM). At issue were the continuing number of industry and citizen lawsuits, reorganization to reduce Federal involvement, plans to phase out the rural abandoned-mine program, and whether the budget is adequate to perform the necessary tasks. Harris defended the budget and the plans to turn regulatory functions over to the states. The panel noted the reluctance of some states to interfere with mining operations and the budget's inadequacy to deal with regulatory responsibilities. (DCK)
