On the recordApril 12, 1994
I was prepared to offer an amendment concerning private property rights relative to the application of S. 21 and what it does and how it threatens private property. However, with regard to S. 21, the California Desert Protection Act, there is one segment that I feel very strongly about. That is title V because title V of the bill and the creation of the Mojave National Park creates a reality that I do not think has been considered adequately by the sponsors of the legislation, because it would dictate that all hunting--Mr. President, all hunting--would be prohibited despite the fact that the East Mojave is and has been a traditional area for hunting, managed by the State of California Department of Fish and Game, and I might say managed quite effectively. The National Park designation would also prohibit a number of wildlife enhancement programs in the area.
