Rep. JamesV. Hansen (R-Utah), who is expected to be named Resources chairman by House leaders today, expressed the hope that lawmakers and the incoming administration could work to reverse some of Clinton's most prominent conservation efforts.
Hansen also proposed blocking new regulations that would limit hardrock mining -- a practice opponents decry as environmentally destructive -- and rules limiting the number of air tours that can be conducted over the Grand Canyon and other national parks.
In addition, Hansen suggested using a formula that would be more advantageous to the oil and gas industries in calculating how much companies have to pay the federal government for operating on public lands.
