<br /> <br /><" <br /> <br />Colonel Vandenberg. I think both suggestions are particularly <br />appropriate. Yours is a modification of Walt's. If there are no <br />objections, we will have,the Executive Secretary ask the Recreation <br />and Environmental Technical Subcommitteee to take up this question <br />and report at the next meeting and charge them with getting the <br />imput from those other three states. <br /> <br />Mr. Bunter. Sir, I'm not sure they could respond in that time, <br />but maybe they could have it as a work item. <br /> <br />Colonel Vandenberg. As a work item for the coming year, that's <br />fine. <br /> <br />Hr. Bunter. A later reporting date. <br /> <br />Mr. Dunn. I assume that BLM, you know, would ask, I believe <br />would ask the states and ask other Federal agencies. I would assume <br />BLM, from what you were saying, would be interested in studying the <br />other three deserts. <br /> <br />Mr. Pfulb. I don't think I could really accurately respond to <br />that, as far as when you say because if you assume BLM would, that's <br />policy level decision, goes beyond my scope. <br /> <br />Mr. Dunn. Let me ask you, the fact of the matter. Do you know <br />of any reason why BLM might resist the ultimate extension as to the <br />three deserts? <br /> <br />Mr. Pfulb. Oh yes, I can think or a half. a dozen reasons myself. <br />Let's face it, planning on this scale treads on many territorial <br />rights. That's just the nature of it. It was. not easy internally <br />in California to get this done. There are institutional territorial <br />rights within BLM that would have to be addressed. So, you know you <br />can go on and on, there are all kinds of reasons why it may not Qe <br />possible. That doesn't mean that. . . . <br /> <br />Colonel Vandenberg. Perhaps we could put Frank's question in <br />another backward way. Do you have any indication that BLM at the <br />upper echelon has said, well we did it once in California, but my <br />heavens, never again? <br /> <br />Mr. Pfulb. Yes. <br /> <br />Colonel Vandenberg. Okay. <br /> <br />B-22 <br />
