Private inholdings threaten national park lands
A National Park Trust report warns millions of acres privately owned within national parks face rising development risk for recreational homes and commercial use. It cites 7 million acres of private land within 84 million acres and 110,000 acres adjacent to 20 parks valued over 70 million as at greatest risk, with funds for acquisitions limited in Congress. The Catellus property near Joshua Tree and Mojave National Preserve seeks 36 million from the federal government, but Senate has pledged 15 million and the House none.

Congress moves to recheck declassified pages on nuclear issues
Congress plans to require reexamination of about 600 million declassified pages to ensure no sensitive nuclear weapons data are released.
