House Votes to Slash Redwood Park Size
The House national parks subcommittee voted to reduce the Senate plan for a Redwood National Park in California from 66,000 acres to about 27,000. The measure would add Del Norte and Prairie Creek state parks, exclude Jedediah Smith State Park, and include a creekside corridor and about 30 miles of seashore. It would authorize $45 million for land acquisition, a fraction of the Senate proposal, pleasing private lumber interests amidst concern from conservationists. Rep. John P. Saylor hinted at enlargement efforts if the bill advances, while Chairman Roy A. Taylor noted a possible House-Senate conference.
