[CPEO-MEF] Senate "Encroachment" Hearings

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

The March 20, 2001 Senate Aarmed Services Readiness Subcommittee
Hearings on "encroachment issues," referred to in early postings, seems
to presage what could be a significant, hard-fought, lengthy legislative
battle over the application of federal and state environmental laws and
regulations to military training activities. In short, at least some of
the armed services feel that "regulatory encroachment" has restricted
training so much that they need legislative relief.

We'll be posting a lengthier analysis of the hearings. For now, one can
download PDF files containing written testimony from the Army, Navy,
Marine, and Air Force from
