Arizona sun., 1962-01-11
by Morris X. Udall
THE WILDERNESS BILL

joy a great abundance of ma
lures beauty-in our noun
tains and desert, pine forests
and Sahuaro forests, river,
streams, washes and canyons.
Nature has blessed Arizona
with as great a variety of
scenic beauty as one can find
on the North American Conti-
nent.
Because we have so much
natural beauty around us we
should have a special interest
in a bill which will come be-
fore the House of Representa-
tives in January. Known as the
Wilderness Bill, this measure
proposes to establish a nation
al wilderness preservation sy-
stem, setting aside large areas
of our wildlands to be retained
in their natural state for pres
ent and future generations.
Confined to lands already
owned by the federal govern
ment, and limited by provi-
sions protecting existing min
ing, timber, oil, grazing and
recreation interests, the bill
was passed by the Senate in
September by a vote of 78 to
8. After 13 years of study and
five years Of congressional hear
ings drafts and re-drafts, the
bill has a good chance of gain
ing final passage in 1862.
What is the Wilderness Bill,
and why is it necessary: An
answer was given in 1949 in a
report prepared by the Library
of Congress-:
''In recent years there has
been an increasing aWarenesS
by the Government and the
people of the United States of
the many problems of land
use. With the growing popula-
ton and the resulting utiliza-
ton of more. and more previ-
ously unutilized land, it is be-
coming evident that before
many years have passed there
is danger that the original
wilderness which was met and
conquered by our forefathers
in building our country will
have disappeared entirely. 1t
will exist only in the history
books. If, then, there is reason
for preserving substantial por-
tions of the remaining wilder
ness, it must be decided upon
before it is too late.
More than seven years of
study, conferences and adjust
ment of views followed that
report. Then, in March 1857,
the first major Wilderness Bill
was introduced. Hearings were
conducted in that year and in
succeeding years. The bill pass
ed by the Senate, S. ia, was
introduced in the Congress last
January. More than 18O orga-
nizations and, individuals were
heard from in the hearings
which followed. Whether the
Congress finally passes this
bill or another version, the
need for some such legislation
is becoming increasingly ap-
parent.
UTRAMMELED BY MAN
What is meant by wilder
ness?" The Senate bill defines
the term this way: "A wilder
ness, in contrast with those
areas where man and his own
works dominate the lands
cape, is hereby recognized as
an area where the earth and
its community of life are un-
trampled by man, where
man himself is a visitor who
does not remain"
It is further defined as an
area retaining its primeval
character and influence. with
out permanent improvements
or human habitation," an area
which, generally appears. to
have been affected primarily
by the forces of nature, with
the imprint of mans works
substantially unnoticeable" and
