SNOW MOBILIZATION
Snowmobilers are rushing to Yellowstone this winter to experience
what might be the second-to-last year snowmobiles are allowed in the
national park.  The Clinton administration in December issued a rule
to ban snowmobiles in the park by the winter of 2003-04 because of
concerns about air pollution, noise, and harassment of wildlife.  But
Rep. Jim Hansen (R-Utah), head of the House Resources Committee, has
made it a top priority to repeal the ban, and the snowmobile industry
has sued to prevent the new rule from taking place.  President Bush
and Interior Secretary Gale Norton have yet to indicate where they
will come down on the issue.  Care to guess?
