C

United Press International
WASHINGTON — William
Clark’s Senate confirmation
hearings are likely to focus on
several critical environmental
issues that got James Watt into
controversy during his turbu
lent term as interior secretary.
They include such politically
explosive questions as offshore
oil leasing, federal coal leasing,
strip mining regulations and
protection of national parks,
wildlife refuges and wilderness
areas.
Clark, President Reagan’s na
tional security adviser and
nominee to succeed Watt as In
terior Department chief, has vir
tually no background in conser
vation or natural resource
policy.
That fact outraged environ
mental leaders when Reagan
made the surprise announce
ment Thursday.
Officials of some national en
vironmental groups — includ
ing the Wilderness Society and
Friends of the Earth — immedi
ately vowed to fight Clark’s
nomination. Those who did not
— such as the Sierra Club —
warned they will be closely ex
amining his positions on the key
policy questions.

Among Watt’s most controv
ersial programs were massive
plans to open offshore areas for
oil and gas drilling and lease
large stretches of federal land,
for coal mining. Environmental
ists and congressional critics cal
led the effort a “fire sale” of fed
eral resources during a period
of depressed energy prices.
Watt planned to lease virtual
ly the entire Outer Continental
Shelf to industry in just five
years — 1 billion acres off the
Atlantic, Pacific, Culf and Alas
kan coasts.
He ran into several roadb
locks — court rulings, congres
sional action and lack of interest
from industry. The Supreme
Court, for example, will hear
arguments Nov. 1 on Califor
nia’s challenge to a key part of
the offshore oil leasing prog
ram. It focuses on the demand
of California and 14 other states
that federal officials consult with
states before conducting the
massive lease sales.
“There must be substantive
policy changes,” argued Jay
Hair, executive vice president of
the National Wildlife Federa
tion, the nation’s largest en
vironmental group. “The new
secretary should support the
role of good science and the
principles of natural resource
management in the develop
ment of public policy.”
A second coal-related ques
tion confronting Clark is Watt’s
proposed relaxation of strip-
mine rules. The federation has
pursued litigation against Watt’s
plan, charging it would open
sensitive areas to strip mining
and weaken the public’s right to
contest individual strip mining
permits.
