I would like to work on legislation to change the threshold of the requirements to designate something wilderness. The gentleman from Utah (Mr. Hansen) had an eastern wilderness bill that was percolating through legislation that would have designated certain areas east of whatever meridian it was, east of the Mississippi River, which I actually supported, which would have changed the classification for what could be designated as wilderness, because there were many areas in the east that would not meet that classification. I would like to see it change.
