On the recordNovember 13, 1997
This fulfills a commitment that this body made several years ago when we created the Udall Foundation, to provide for them an authorization for them to do mediation on environmental disputes between Federal agencies and other Federal agencies, State or local agencies, as well as private businesses. I think this is a step in the right direction to get litigation out of the courtroom and into mediation. I think it can serve us very well in our goals of trying to protect the environment, and also provide for economic growth in this country. I strongly support this.
