...would like to address similar themes. I would like the Faculty to consider for a moment what lessons Harvard is teaching its students by its policies on South Africa. It seems to me that the lessons we are teaching our students may have more lasting impact than even any effects we may be able to have on South Africa. I begin by assuming two principles which I think have been amply demonstrated. The first of these is that the presence of United States corporations in South Africa does materially support and reinforce the regime and apartheid. The second premise...
Environmental impact statements are required by the National Environmental Policy Act for all federal actions which significantly affect the environment. The plaintiffs contend that since 1970, many of these actions have been approved without the EIS's. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has approved 303 Indian uranium leases, and the U.S. Geological Service okayed nine mining and reclamation plans. Both of these agencies fall under the Department of the Interior...

Last year, the TVA, Mobil Oil, and United Nuclear Corporation submitted an environmental impact statement for a proposed uranium mine and mill complex in the eastern portion of the Navajo reservation. The BIA made arrangements for the lease in 1970, although Navajos living in the area never heard anything about the proposal until 1978. Mary C.

"I never saw any contract papers, I never put my thumbprint...

Development continues unabated as the TVA-Mobil-United Nuclear consortium project expands from uranium exploration into mine shaft and mill construction. The miners will be drawn from the Navajo population, with the "specialists" being non-Indian experts from outside the reservation. This project, in conjunction with the many other coal and uranium mining projects, promises to make a uranium boom town out of a hitherto traditional Navajo community. In turn, according...
