Alaska Land Grab

In reference to the guest editorial by Bruce Trachtenberg (May, p 21,)

- the guy deserves the medal of honor - he said it the way it is.

It seems funny H.R. 39 wants to freeze all the land, yet when there are forest fires here they let them burn and waste thousands of acres of land, no logic.

I think the legislators are trying to make up for all the mistakes they made over the years in the lower 48 states and correct them by taking Alaska land.

Lack Of Wisdom

I could not agree more with the statements Iof Bruce S. Trachtenberg's guest editorial in the Merchant, May, p.22,1 deploring the lack of wisdom and balance which has characterized the actions on this issue [Alaska lands legislationl in the House to date.

Frankly, I am very pessimistic that even with more considered, moderate action in the Senate, we can retain any reasonable compromise in the final legislation.

Thus, regretably, negative action in the form of the procedurial tools which we have available to us in the Senate may be our only recourse to prevent what I also believe would be land use folly.
