Virginia Wilderness Act of 1987. House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, First Session, October 13, 1987

Book ·
OSTI ID:5715950
The House Agricultural, Interior, and Insular committees' joint report on H.R. 2878 recommends passage with a number of amendments. In addition to designating 27,700 acres to be part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, the bill repeals an earlier air quality act. The report notes reservations about some of the areas on the part of the Forest Service, but concludes that the limited amount of timber involved would not be significant. There is an analysis of each section of the bill, a summary of committee hearings, and a brief review of the bill's potential impact on the budget and existing law.
