Interior Department policy to open US public lands to the mining industry use is rationalized as the resource war with the Soviet Union over strategic minerals vital to national defense. Mining-industry members and government officials express concerns about vulnerability despite a National Defense Stockpile of materials for military hardware manufactures. Promoters of the concept of resource war and locked-up land use a number of figures, definitions, and interpretations that differ from those claimed by environmentalists and researchers. Restrictions may be eased and changes in legislation may make mining the highest priority use of public land. (DCK)
