conglomcratcH who>c intercsl wa* vcry kem umil thc wilderncM proposal issue was mentionid. At thi* point their inicrcst UHually deteriornted rapidly.

The niże and ijuality «f thr dopo>it, couplcd with thc oni«|u«^a *mm» with urliich ilu?-orc cuukl be smnrd. make* it.« wory valunblc deposit indccd. Inour cnvironment.il axse**incnl, which we submitted to your office. we stated that «ur proposed mining methocU would improv* thc gcograpkical arca and cnhanrr it* bcauty.

As thc mining progrcufcd. rcdomation would havc bcen implemcm^l to mitiufy, uli conccmcd partie* Aa of this duto, orc aamploH from thc Strout deposit arc beanir cvnluated and serotimrcd for pcraiblc usc in mony indurtriul upplicultoru*. The*? testu and their results orc momtored by myself or.d rrinyed on to Mr. Lcniy Strout on n reguła r biisis.

Pcreonally, ilu? possibility of dcwlopmg thr Strout diatomoccoua cnrth deposit is vcry feasiblc. f laving had thc opport unity to negolialc with thc pro*pcctive buycrs and ub*erve nomo of thc innorations which arc manufneturod with diatomoccous carth u» well as knowing thc cscalntlon of di.iU>maceou> carth sale* for consumption in.U.S. mnrftcU, thc Strout dcposiC will havc a bright and pro fi ta hic futuro if thc rtigma of tłic wildeme** rtudy arca can be climinated or altercd to not afTurd thc tuzard of any conflict with environmciitali*s in the futurę.

The possibility of o new and scvcrely needed indurtry base of lugh technolog) and ir.anufactunng can be implemented to tłtc rtate of Idaho. SuppSyitig the orc exce)lent tmn^portation systems makes thc fcasihilily of this projcct nil thc morę important.

Idaho ii nil too well familinr with the ups nnd down* of seasonal cmpbymcnt and has bccn the recipient of depressed agncultural

market*. Altracting new industry that not ■ cinly provides security in employmeni but alao new tax rcvcnucs to thc rtate'* budgeia ?«hou!d \k first and forcmosl on any Idaho Citizen'* mind.

The lic ule na nt govemor, ButchOttcr. in 19S8 was dismayed at thc cxploitotk>n of Idaho* natural rr^ourcci and proposed that the industry which purchased thcsc natural

munufacturing facilrtics in thc stale of Idaho so that we could sharc in thc *odded value" of thc rrfiourcc. If thc Strout deposit can bo mir.i*d succcs^fully without thc cnnflieta ttlfócialcd with wildcmcss study aren*, then Idaho muy vcry well play host to many new Industries in thc near futuro. In Mjmmanzing the Strout deposit and it*

its business bose. I would havc to stale that the proposcd wildcmcss study uren for thc Gooding (My of Rocks is detnmenul to the dcvclopmcnt and opcnition of a uni<iw? and p rospermu vcnt ure.

The prupo^cd wildcmcss Siudy aren is not opposcd by myyclt. thc Strout*. or anyonc eUc associated with thc dcvclopment of the deposit. In fact we would congratulnto these cnvironmcntali6ts un a wdl-done job of prrtecling thc land of iIk cntirc United State* -They are dcfimtcly dirdy needed.

Howevcr. in thc matter of the Strout deposit locatrd north of Bliss, as thc arca is consuiunt on thc proposcd Strout mining projcct nenrCooding. This orticlc is cxccrpted from commcnts hc senl to thc Uurcju ofLand Management on thc propo>cd Goedmg City of Rocks wildcmcss arca.

There's no single cause of America¹s failures in education

After listening to the Barhnrn Woltera óocumcnuiry concommg thc fttutu* of eduentron in the United States. I fclt compolled to writc this lettcr principolly to‘ thc young pcoplc uf our country ns well as to their porents and grnndpnrent*.

Your goYcrnmcnt has betrayed you by niding in thc dcslructiun nnd separntion of a child/poreni rclńtionship with emphasis being placcd upon thc individual's dcpcndcncy upon thc stale.

Pcoplc who arc in high position* of nuthority in govcmmvnt ahoułd conduct themsclves with integrity. honor, windom, prudcncc. dignity und chastity.

Ilavc you insisted that incampctcnl teachers Iw removcd? liwtcadof holding your child a nose tu thc educalional gri odsłono, havc you )ust copped out and tried to buy >uur way out of your rcsponsibility to them a giń. a nighl un tłu* town, thc car. anything just to get them out of your hair? How often do you tell them you luve them?

Kducators. how have you betrayed the ytmng people you are entrusted to teach? Iki you lny b;tck on the cxcusc th.it you are underpuid and thcrcforc thc childrcn don‘t respi-ct yuu and ynu have nn atftlioriiy? That really is a cup out. There isnl n pnistitute. drug pusher. successful thief.

puliticinn. eon nrtist, etc. in the world who doesnY make morę tlun most eduentors; nnd I supposc that if I go by that standard. I and the young pcoplc of the world should respecl them for being ready. ablc and willing to deal rnisery to mnnkind.

How much of thc school budget goes for extrucurriculnr activitics such as golfing. football, inps to the ski l^isin and other sport* instead uf being opplied to rcading. writing and 'rithmetic and your sabries?

IXi they go to school to play or tu Uam. or nrc you simply trying tn ‘mlerest them” *o they wunt give you a problem? Do yuu stand firnily «ngainst pnrents who cure so little aboul thc education of their childrcn and dcmnnd their pnrticipation?

Young pcoplc, you moy be young. but (Jod gavc you n bram. Usc to. Dont lei those who dont care chcat you out of your education. If yuu want good thir.g* in thc rcnl world yuu arc going to have to uork for them.

Oh. I know that govcmmont says we nrc all things to all pcoplc and that we will tokc curc of you.

If you buy that you arc indccd stupid nnd desenre to bo had.

You aa* the governmcnl. Socicty dorsni owe >xm anything but the privilegc of being a worthwhile participant in the brolherhood of mnnkind.
