National Monuments Planned for Historic and Natural Treasures
Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt urged President Clinton to set five sites as national monuments. They include Pompeys Pillar near Billings, a Missouri River stretch in Montana, Carrizo Plain in California, and Virgin Islands Coral Reef plus Buck Island expansion. Designations aim to shield these landscapes from mining, drilling, and heavy use.
