It is being attempted at a time when there is a vigorous contrary effort which seeks to return Oregon Caves National Monument to the Forest Service, or, alternatively, to Oregon State Parks or Josephine County. This is because of utter failure of stewardship by the NPS at O.C. Nat. Mon. It is even comical because it specifically would designate OC's River Styx a "recreational river"; River Styx is only two or three inches deep and just a few dozen feet long! Bills like this one show what is wrong with Congress. Hearings should be held on this bill, in Grants Pass, Portland and Washington D.C.... 39944@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_6291.html?rev=26789 <p>H.R. 6291 would adjust the boundary of Oregon Caves National Monument, to amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate certain river segments in Oregon as wild or scenic rivers.</p> <h2 id="toc8"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc9"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 6/24/2008: Referred to House subcommittee.
