Further,this is being attempted at a time when there is a vigorous contrary effort which seeks to retgurn the monument to the Forest Service, or transfer it to Oregon State Parks or Josephine County.

Hearings on it should be held in Grants Pass, Portland, and Washington, D.C.... 39964@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_3148.html 7/30/2008: Senate committee/subcommittee actions.
