Five Wyoming Officials Testified in Washington Hearings
Governor Milward L. Simpson led five Wyoming representatives who testified before the House Interior Mines and Mining subcommittee in Washington. They urged passage of Thomson's Mineral Leasing Act amendment to raise public land coal acreage from 5120 to 10240 acres with extra 16240 acres possible on Interior Secretary approval, aiming to support synthetic fuels under Husky Oil and Union Pacific Coal, and Wyoming development by Pacific Power and Light. The Wyoming group included Glen E Sorenson Kemmerer Coal, John U Loomis Union Pacific attorney, John Lucas Jr. Rock Springs Union Pacific Coal, and Jesse D. Winzenried Cody Husky Oil, among others.
