          STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

      By Mr. SIMPSON: (for himself and Mr. Thomas)
  S. 1824. A bill to require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a 
study concerning grazing use of certain land within and adjacent to 
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, and temporarily extend a grazing 
permit, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Energy and Natural 
Resources.


        grazing study of teton park and other areas legislation

 Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, on behalf of my good friend and 
colleague, Craig Thomas, I introduce today a bill that will establish a 
very narrowly focused study of the effects of cattle grazing on certain 
lands in and near Teton National Park in Teton County, WY.
  Mr. President, this study is necessary as a means of avoiding the one 
thing that all sides of this issue are determined to avoid: the further 
development of lands associated with that spectacular national wonder. 
The language of this bill should be noncontroversial and little--if 
any--expense would be entailed.
  I also wish to commend the efforts of our House colleague, Barbara 
Cubin, on this bill and I urge its unanimous support.
