So insofar as its impact on Arizona is concerned, it I think we can truthfully say today it will have no impact. And as much as the only act of coal mining in the state of Arizona is on Indian reservations, which for the time being are excluded from the provisions of the bill.

The newspapers in Tucson here have been talking considerably about that provision, as though it were going to change activities here in Tucson.

And the thing that triggered it was was sort of an illicit, bogus mining operation on the casas Adobes areas, which was more of a threat a billy club over the local residents and then a realistic thing. Of course, the the the thing with the act that that triggered Mr. Udall to put his title six in designated lines, lands unsuitable for non coal mining, of course, was the the activity a few years ago in the Tucson mountains. However, and I would take a lawyer to interpret it, I frankly doubt that, that this title would have anything to do with that situation. And as much as federal lands truly federal lands were not involved. These were lands which we call severed estates, where there is a surface owner, and the federal government has titled to the minerals under the surface, which is a very predominant condition here in the West.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73805/file/159488#t=149.0,226.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73805/file/159488/transcript/37709/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: I understand that one of the provisions of the bill would be that the University of Arizona would receive a $2.5 million grant.

This originally was a bill of its own. It was vetoed. It was passed by the Congress and vetoed by President Nixon and a pocket veto along with a lot of other little things, which he said were inflated inflationary.

And this when I say considerably more money, it's about $9 million over five years, whereas our allotment would be two and a half million over over seven years.

So again, there there is a provision for energy scholarships or fellowships, and the amount of $10,000 per scholar, which is considerably higher than any other scholarship program in existence. Now, I should say that these other schools are getting more money and the scholarships are for coal development. And the money's only go to states institutions and states, which have appreciable coal reserves, and have a broad background in coal research. So that seems to let the state of Arizona out and very definitely in as much as under the restrictions of the bill.

Mr. Hughes, all is is has submitted the a bill in the House of Representatives, which he calls the the mining law of 1977. The purpose of the mining law is to, in effect, undo the mining law of 1872, which permitted a private individual or a corporation to go on to federal land and state claims and and with the provision that certain conditions were met. Eventually those lands would be transferred in title to that individual. Under Mr. Hughes, all his new provision, it is strictly a leasing responsibility every step of the way, the individual or the corporation must get a license, first a prospecting license, a development license, in order to look and once he finds then he must submit to the Secretary of Interior is finding upon which time the secretary would be putting those properties out for bid for leasing purposes. And then they it goes to the highest bidder. Now the person who finds that has some some prior rights into the bidding. But it the bill itself adds a great deal of uncertainty into the capability of any individual finding something and being able to develop it, not to speak of the large costs and license fees and lease fees.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73805/file/159488#t=468.0,561.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73805/file/159488/transcript/37709/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: This would seem to be that it's going to have some major impact on small miners here in the state.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73805/file/159488#t=562.0,566.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73805/file/159488/transcript/37709/annotation/18","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: Well, the small miners and the weekend prospectors are going to be very badly hurt by him by this bill.

It's not totally true that they are out of date because they've been continually updated through amendments so that the original bill which carries the date of 1879, in effect is fairly modern because of the amendments on it.
