Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sovereignty Over Public Lands: Hearing Before the Committee on Resources, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session on H. R. 3752 September 12, 1996 Washington, DC The Committee met at 10:35 a.m. in room 1324 of the Longworth House Office Building, the Honorable Don Young, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. The Chairman. The Committee will come to order. Statement Of The Honorable Don Young, A U.S. Representative From Alaska; And Chairman, Committee On Resources The Chairman. Today we will hear testimony on H.R. 3752, my bill that gives the Congress a role in approving international land designations. Within the last 25 years, more and more of our nation´s land has become subject to international land use restrictions. A total of 67 sites in the United States have been designated as UN Biosphere reserves or World Heritage sites. These programs are run by UNESCO, an arm of the UN. UNESCO is represented today by Ms. Nina Sibal. I appreciate Ms. Sibal visiting me yesterday, and I appreciate UNESCO sending her to discuss how the organization implements the program. I want to be right up front about his whole hearing. The lack of a meaningful Congressional role in both programs on the domestic front, it bothers me. Very frankly, I think it goes against the Constitution and the role of this Committee. That´s what I try to address in my bill by giving a more meaningful role for those in Congress who represent the American people. Ultimately, we have the responsibility for Biosphere and World Heritage Sites, not the Administration. I want to stress that. This is the role of this Committee. The Biosphere Reserve Program is not even authorized by a single U.S. law, or even an international treaty, and I believe that is incorrect. Executive Branch appointees, whatever their political party - and I want to stress this - in the last 25 years, and it does not mean this Administration or the past Administration, but what has occurred in the past and is occurring today, it has been occurring without law. The World Heritage Site Program is based on a treaty. My bill does not suggest that the U.S. shrug off the World Heritage Site Program.
