Hearings held in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Washington, DC brought testimony from public officals, representatives of mining industries, environmentalists, Indians, and interested citizens and organizations on a proposal to lease public lands in the San Juan Basin for coal mining and a bill (H.R. 1575) designating the Bisti Badlands Wilderness. At issue was the Department of Interior's (DOI's) plan, already in evidence in the Powder River sale, to change the procedure for coal leasing to make these lands more readily available to private industry. Despite New Mexico's economic problems, state officials and concerned citizens generally opposed the type of resource management offered by DOI. There was preference for a slower, phased approach to leasing while transportation, environmental, and other problems are resolved. Additional statements and communications follow the testimony of over 100 witnesses.
