The measures face an un certain future in the Republi can-controlled House, where Resources Committee Chair man Rep. D oc Hastings, R- Wash., has been working on legislation to increase logging in national forests. , “Chairman Hastings con siders wilderness bills on an individual basis, but is con cerned about the restrictions they place on public access to public lands,” said committee aide Spencer Pederson. Steve Pedery,, conserva tion director for the environ mental group Oregon Wild, said he was confident Wyden w ould be able to broker a .public lands deal with Re publicans interested in en ergy d e v elo p m en t th a t would result in adding the areas to the nation’s wilder ness areas, as he has done in the past. . The bills would expand the Oregon Caves National M o n u m en t an d W ild Rogue Wilderness in south w estern O reg o n , create new wilderness along the John Day River in.Central O reg o n , and create the D evil’s Staircase W ilder ness to protect old growth forest in the Coast Range on the Siuslaw N ational Forest.
