, "'.. Mr. Pfulb. We are taking it into account this way, one element of our coordination program with local government, we feel will allow those local plans and proposals, that come through the 701 process, become part of the record and input into the planning program. Because, as I say we are mandated to coordinate our plans with local governments, so in that sense we would depend on the information coming to use in our coordination with local governments. So 701 dollars in other words have been used to develop those plans. I thought that there were some new 701 proposals in some of the local areas in San Bernardino County, communities or joint planning entities, like the Mountain Desert Planning Agency of San Bernardino County. I thought they did, but maybe they don't have any 701 projects right now. Mr. Finkelstein. We are still funding three local groups but not the county as a whole. Mr. Pfulb. What I wanted to point out on this last one, I wanted to show what we have identified, the Military Bases and they can, our coordinating with them their needs and demands, it isn't limited just to the boundaries of the base itself, this is information we have collected on their air space needs, training, and when you lay that over, you can see that it effects a good part of the desert. Now there would be some kind of allocation in this plan that could be effected one way or the other by air space demands. Particularly low level type of activity, training or anything else. So we are trying to take that into account and know if we can where there might be some flexibility or where there isn't. Mr. Hightower. Do you have any wilderness area proposals? Mr. Pfulb. Funny you should bring that up right now. I can only say that right now, we are internally trying to get our own act to- gether, as to how we are going to, first inventory what we call the 2C criteria that's the wilderness values, we are directed to inven- tory first, where those values are and one of the largest parts of this program will be involving the public, in a very intensive way, to let the public get their own values into where they think wilder- ness quality exists. A special task force has just been set up by the State Director, because this places such an increase workload on the whole effort here, because of this legislation. A special unit was set up under the special task force lead to address this partic- ular inventory and the public participation in relation to it. If the Desert Plan Staff would have been diverted to this kind of effort we would never finish the inventory that we are in the middle of right now. Because there has to be such a high level of public involvement in this. So that's why I can only say at this time that B-16
