Papan said the broader scope, which included five former judges, prompted withdrawal as he had intended only to aid Marcel Biscay. Younger had not voiced a position on the bill.

California lawmakers moved to formally oppose drilling off the Southern California coast with a nonbinding resolution by Assemblyman Howard Berman. The measure, approved 7-0 by the Planning and Land Use Committee, urges Congress to designate the area a national preserve and allow drilling only in national emergencies, facing an uphill Senate hurdle as the session nears end.
