StumbleLetter: Gibbons was right to withdraw provision
Friday, Dec. 16, 2005 | 7:44 a.m.
Thanks to Rep. Jim Gibbons for withdrawing his poorly written mine-patenting provision from the Budget Reconciliation Bill. Hope- fully, Mr. Gibbons will be willing to engage all interested parties in an open debate on the real reforms of the 1872 Mining Law that are so sorely needed.
