    Statement on California Desert Legislation
    October 8, 1994

        Today's passage of the California desert bill is a clear-cut victory
    for the people of California and everyone across America who cares about
    this Nation's great natural heritage. We all owe a debt of gratitude to
    Senator Dianne Feinstein for her tireless efforts to bring together a
    bipartisan coalition in Congress that ensured its passage.
        The passage of this important environmental legislation is a
    testament to Dianne Feinstein's skillful leadership, perseverance, and
    determination to do the right thing for the people of California.
