                            I. introduction

    The Subcommittee on National Parks and Public Lands has 
historically held hearings, considered, and passed more 
individual legislation than any other subcommittee in Congress. 
In fact, the Subcommittee has had nearly 100 pieces of 
legislation enacted into law in the 106th Congress. This 
legislation covers a wide breadth of issues including 
everything from name changes of park units to creation of new 
national parks. Local and state support of any legislation is 
of particular importance to the Subcommittee. Highlights of the 
legislation considered and passed by the Subcommittee in the 
106th Congress include authorizing the collection of film fees 
for commercial use in national parks, reauthorizing the 
Historic Preservation Act, authorizing numerous historic site 
and wild and scenic river designations, and creating the Black 
Canyon National Park. Also, the Subcommittee conducts oversight 
functions on an assortment of important issues. Past oversight 
has included hearings and examinations of franchise fee 
miscalculations, the proposed prohibition of snowmobiles in 
national park units, and the Administration's dubious creation 
of national monuments.

      Subcommittee on Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife and Oceans


                            I. Introduction

    During the third Republican-controlled Congress since 1954, 
the Subcommittee on Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife and 
Oceans, under the leadership of Chairman Jim Saxton of Mount 
Holly, New Jersey, explored topics ranging from the bottom of 
the ocean to the top of the world in the Arctic.
    By any objective standard, the Subcommittee had an 
extremely productive and successful legislative record during 
the 106th Congress. The Subcommittee's accomplishments included 
the reauthorization of key conservation laws, such as the 
Coastal Barrier Resources Act; the Coastal Wetlands Planning, 
Protection, and Restoration Act; the Fishermen's Protective 
Act; the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program Act; 
the National Marine Sanctuaries Act; and the Yukon River Salmon 
Act. The Subcommittee also approved measures to legislatively 
create three new National Wildlife Refuge units in Alabama and 
Louisiana. These include the Cahaba River National Wildlife 
Refuge, the Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge, and the Red 
River National Wildlife Refuge. In the past, the Subcommittee 
has approved legislation to assist in the conservation of 
endangered elephants, rhinoceroses, and tigers. During this 
Congress, the Subcommittee expanded that assistance to include 
great apes and neotropical migratory birds with the enactment 
of the Great Ape Conservation Act and the Neotropical Migratory 
Bird Conservation Act. After two years of careful deliberation, 
the Subcommittee took a leadership role in advocating the 
Oceans Act of 2000. This bill established an Ocean Commission 
to carefully examine our existing ocean programs and to make 
recommendations to Congress on how these programs can be 
improved. Finally, the highlights of the Subcommittee must 
include a measure to protect the fragile Arctic tundra (Arctic 
Tundra Habitat Conservation Act), to establish a commission to 
promote the awareness and revitalization of our National 
Wildlife Refuge System (National Wildlife Refuge System 
Centennial Act), and a measure to conserve vital estuary lands 
in the Chesapeake Bay region. While the Subcommittee approved 
measures to assist in the conservation of Atlantic striped 
bass, coral reefs, marine mammals, Pacific salmon and sharks, 
regrettably these bills did not make it through the legislative 
process.

                            II. Jurisdiction

    (1) Fisheries management and fisheries research generally, 
including the management of all commercial and recreational 
fisheries, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act, interjurisdictional fisheries, international 
fisheries agreements, aquaculture, seafood safety and fisheries 
promotion.
    (2) Wildlife resources, including research, restoration, 
refuges and conservation.
    (3) All matters pertaining to the protection of coastal and 
marine environments, including estuarine protection.
    (4) Coastal barriers.
    (5) Oceanography.
    (6) Ocean engineering, including materials, technology and 
systems.
    (7) Coastal zone management.
    (8) Marine sanctuaries.
    (9) U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.
    (10) Sea Grant programs and marine extension services.

authority over activities, policies and programs within the 
jurisdiction of the Subcommittee.

              Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources


                            I. Introduction

    During the 106th Congress the Subcommittee on Energy and 
Mineral Resources began work by enacting a reauthorization of 
the National Geologic Mapping Act with an amendment furthering 
participation of the various state geologic surveys in this 
cooperative program to produce maps and geologic data 
prioritized to abate natural hazards, protect groundwater 
supplies, identify mineral resource potential for land-use 
planning, and otherwise meet national needs.
    The Subcommittee went on to separately consider and pass 
bills to amend the Mineral Leasing Act with respect to the 
acreage any one entity may hold under federal lease, statewide 
and nationwide, for sodium compounds (such as trona, a sodium 
sesquicarbonate ore mineral) and coal resources. These 
amendments were made necessary by industry consolidation 
brought on by changing global markets conditions which made the 
older threshold acreages too small to allow our domestic 
industry to adequately compete. Both measures were signed into 
law.
    The Subcommittee also spearheaded oversight and later 
investigative hearings into controversial payments received by 
two Federal employees involved in crafting a rule on oil and 
gas valuations from an outside group which had an interest in 
these regulations.

                            II. Jurisdiction

               Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health


                            I. Introduction

    In the 106th Congress, the Subcommittee on Forests and 
Forest Health achieved its goals within the oversight plan 
proposed at the beginning of the Congress. The Subcommittee 
held 33 oversight hearings focusing primarily on forest health, 
wildland fuels, recreation, wildlife, and access issues. This 
oversight uncovered serious problems with the Administration's 
management of federal forests and implementation of its 
policies. For example, through subpoenas and document requests, 
the Subcommittee was able to show violations by the 
Administration in developing its roadless policy and in 
implementing specific road closures.
    The Subcommittee initiated a number of audits by the 
General Accounting Office (GAO) addressing fire and fuels 
management, land management planning procedures, eco-region 
assessments, Forest Service merger with the Bureau of Land 
Management, roadless policy impacts on forest health, and 
mismanagement of the Agency. The GAO was highly critical of the 
Forest Service's efforts in each of these areas. The Committee 
also successfully advanced a legislative proposal to 
significantly modify, improve, and increase the funding for the 
Federal Government's fuel management programs, a major first 
step towards more aggressive forest management and stewardship.
    The Subcommittee also advanced numerous land conveyance 
bills to streamline the management and improved the use of 
national forest lands. The Subcommittee's legislative agenda 
culminated in the enactment of the Secure Rural Schools and 
Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-393). 
This Act will provide rural areas with financial stability in 
revenues used for community schools and roads, and will also 
provide funds for communities to apply to collaborative 
projects on federal forests.

                            II. Jurisdiction

    (1) Except in Alaska, forest reservations, including 
management thereof, created from the public domain.
    (2) Except for forest lands in Alaska, public forest lands 
generally, including measures or matters related to entry, 
easements, withdrawals and grazing.
    (3) Except in Alaska, Federal reserved water rights on 
forest reserves.
    (4) Wild and Scenic Rivers System, National Trails System, 
national heritage areas and other national units established 
for protection, conservation, preservation or recreational 
development administered by the Secretary of Agriculture.
    (5) Federal and non-Federal outdoor recreation plans, 
programs and administration in public forests.
    (6) General and continuing oversight and investigative 
authority over activities, policies and programs within the 
jurisdiction of the Subcommittee.
