URGENT WARD VALLEY ALERT-SENATE VOTE
On Tuesday Sept 17, 1996 at 9:30AM, Senator Murkowski (R,AK) is
expected to introduce amendments to the Interior Appropriations
bill (HR 3662) on the floor of the US Senate which:
Force the transfer of the Ward Valley land from the US Bureau
of Land Management to the State of California for a nuclear
waste dump;
Bail out US Ecology, the nearly bankrupt company that would
operate the dump;
Exempt the transfer from all federal laws including
environmental and land management laws;
Exempt it from judicial review;
Misleadingly assure Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) oversight
and protection even though NRC has deferred that authority to
the state which already has licensed the burial project;
Violate Native American spiritual and religious rights and
agricultural, water, economic and development rights.
ACTION NEEDED:
A filibuster against the Murkowski amendments is expected. Contact your
US SENATORS and ask them to oppose the amendments and to VOTE AGAINST
