The Michigan Daily-Friday, November 14, 1980-Page 5 Pigeon River agreement willnot end fight LANSING (UPI}-A landmark agreement between environmentalists and the petroleum industry allowing oil wells in the Pigeon River Country State Forest will not end the fight over drilling in Michigan, lawmakers said yesterday. Longtime foes Ken Sikkema of the West Michigan Environmental Action Council and oil industry attorney Webb Smith sat side-by-side at the news con- ference marking the end of a 12-year- old dispute over oil and gas drilling in the 96,000 acre northern Michian forest. They said the compromise will end years of lawsuits over drilling in the southern third of the forest. THE AGREEMENT faces review by the state Natural Resources Com- mission, must be made into law by the legislature, and be finalized incourt by the two sides. Drilling could begin in January, said Smith, who represents Shell Oil Co., Standard Oil Co., and Northern Michigan Exploration Co. But lawmakers said the Pigeon River agreement will not end haggling over oil and gas development on other state lands. New conflicts over petroleum exploration have developed and cannot be resolved without major legislation, they said. COMPREHENSIVE oil and gas drilling guidelines likely will be offered soon, said Sen. Gilbert DiNello (D-East Detroit) who earlier this year in- troduced similar legislation. That bill, opposed by environmen- talists and Gov. William Milliken as undermining state environmental laws, passed the Senate in a form addressing only the Pigeon River problem. The legislation makes law a 1976 NRC Pigeon River drilling, agreement. It is under consideration by a House com- mittee and will be altered to reflect the compromises reached between the en- vironmentalists and the oil industry.

Senate votes against gov, t forced WASHINGTON (AP) - Led by con- desp servative Republicans, the Senate Benj voted yesterday to prohibit the Justice mea Department from using busing in se effe hool desegregation cases, a move the offi administration says would cripple ef- dese fonts to halt discrimination in public schools.. On a vote of 42-38, the anti-busing amendment, sponsored by Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), was added to a $9.J7 billion appropriation for the Justice Department and other federal agen- cies. A final vote on the bill and the amen- dAnent was delayed until Monday. THE AMENDMENT is similar to a rider attached to legislation already passed by the House. If it receives final Senate approval, it would be sent to a House-Senate conference to work out differences, but both versions of the an- ti-busing amendment already are in essential agreement. Both versions would bar the Justice Department from spending money to require sending healthy children to any school but the one nearest their home. Approval of the amendment came busing pite a plea from Attorney General jamin Civiletti, who argued that the sure is unconstitutional and would ctively tie the hands of government cials working on school gregation cases. , Texas Instruments Gets Down to Business ;;: .;.; .; : : :!1 ., .; ., ; :" . * SALE * ATUCO f6[11 r.~IIQQQ.
