2 Actions NEEDED to STOP the WARD VALLEY NUCLEAR DUMP land transfer!!


The transfer of Ward Valley from the Interior Dept Bureau of Land Management
to the State of California is necessary for the dump to open. (Supposedly
the federal government doesn't want liability for another radioactive
dump--so California taxpayers get it).  This action has been prevented by
the State itself at some stages, and then by commitments by the
Administration (Clinton, Gore and Babbitt) for a full scope
evidentiary hearing, conclusion of pending court action and now,
a commitment to hold Calif Governor Wilson to certain tests and
conditions. All of these promises have now been broken!

Message:  Opposition and outrage at the 3rd BROKEN PROMISE on Ward Valley by
President Clinton and Interior Sect Babbitt:

announced the transfer of land with NO meaningful or enforceable
protections or conditions. (contact NIRS 202-328-0002

(2) CALLS, FAXES, E-Mails NEEDED TO CONGRESS --YOUR REP AND
SENATORS!

  Switchboard to all House and Senate offices: 202-224-3121 or 225-3121



Message:  Opposition to Congress transfering the Ward Valley
land VIA:

                (A) The Budget Reconciliation Bill which, among its many
atrocities, has a provision transfering the land with NO
conditions AND apparently exempting the action on Ward Valley
from all existing laws! It forces the Administration (Babbitt)
to do what is already (irresponsibly) being done (transfering
with no conditions) AND the Congressional action appears to take
away our democratic rights of due process and  judicial review.



                (B) HR 2334, a stand-alone House bill sponsored by 8
California Republican Representatives (Bilbray, Dreier,
Cunningham, Dornan, Hunter, Thomas, Moorhead, Packard) and Young
(R,AK) and Schaefer (CO), key committee and subcommittee chairs,
is ready to roll if the Budget Bill provision fails. A similar
Senate bill has not yet been introduced.

 Thanks.
