...plain -- a carpet of delicate wild flowers in summer, an icy wasteland in winter -- be opened to exploration and leasing by oil and gas concerns. The report, which concedes that the environment would be affected, is due to be released in final form next March by Interior Secretary Donald Hodel...
...Grand Canyon may fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Aviation Administration and therefore not necessarily in Marks' bailiwick. This June the Park Service will release a report assessing the environmental damage of the flights and outlining possible solutions; by September Marks must recommend to Interior Secretary Donald Hodel a plan to resolve the problem. The Secretary's decision is certain to serve as a guide for other national parks, particularly Haleakala and Hawaii Volcanoes national parks in Hawaii, which are contending with increasingly heavy air traffic...

Half of those new supplies are expected to come from offshore wells. Says Hodel: "The federal offshore-leasing program must continue to move forward if this nation is to have a stable domestic supply of energy in the years ahead." Offshore exploration looks attractive because as many as 10 billion bbl. of oil is believed to be tucked under California's continental shelf, where geological forces...
