THE VILDERNESS BILL 
The Wilderness Bill was reintroduced in tke House by Congressman John P. Saylor 
(Pa.) on the opening day cf the 88th Congress, and in the Senate on Jan. 14 by 
Senator Clinton P. anderson and a group of co-sponsors. 
The Anderson bill, S. 4, is identical to the measure passed 78 to 8 by the 
Senate in 1961. The Saylor Bill, H. R. 930, is somewhat stronger, as it omits some 
questionable Senate amendments including one upholding the authority of the Federal 
Power Commission to license dams in wilderness areas. Both bills, however, contain 
all the important features listed and explained in The Audubon Leader's Conservation 
Guide of Jan. 1, 1963. Conservationists will press for early action by the 
Committees on Interior and Insular Affsirs,
