can you provide a link to the bill itself, so we can see just what 'limited economic activity' means?

That's a great idea. Can you pull that up and add it to this thread?

I'm asking you to.
You have asked me to do your research for you in the past, and as usual, I'm going to pass.

I don't think that the bill has been formally submitted yet for this session although I would guess that the language is pretty similar to past versions. Cantwell and Inslee along with various others (I think John Warner is the GOP co-sponser in the Senate?) have introduced the same bill for several years in a row.
I wouldn't spend too much time sorting through the details of the bill from a practical standpoint. The administration isn't going to go along and neither will the House. The Senate might be for it in theory but if so they wouldn't let it come to a vote; only way that happens is if it is going to lose. And from a general political standpoint, with Cantwell seen as one of the more vulnerable Senators up for reelection there is no way the GOP lets anything with her name on it get passed. This is going no where in 2006 unless someone manages to get it amended or horsetraded as a rider onto more important legislation. Even then it would just be conferenced out. Maybe something could happen in 2007 depending on the elections but by then the compromises necessary by both sides would probably result in a significantly different bill than the current one.

An informed post, Eric. In the current climate, preservationists like myself can only hope to hold the line. Sometimes it feels like a series of tactical retreats - ANWR, mercury levels, privatization of lands and jobs, salvage logging, etc. Business is running things these days. That's who we voted in and that's what we have to live with - for now.

Didn't the session just end? Or is it just a break?

Might this be it?
It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

I signed it. I believe roadless area protection is in the best interest to the most people and in the best interest of wildlife. The only ones who would lose are the robber barons of the forest industry. There are some amazing places that are roadless, it would be a shame to see them build roads or log these places.
