Received an E-Mail from Peter DeFazio and the following is an excerpt from
it.
"For some reason, Chairman Pombo dropped his support for H.R. 298, so Mr.
Rahall removed the Farallon Islands from the provisions in the bill and
reintroduced it as H.R. 1183. So, the bills only differ in that the new
bill only covers access to the Navassa refuge. Like most bills introduced
in Congess, I don't anticipate either other of these becoming law. It is
more likely that they will sit in committee without going anywhere since
Chairman Pombo has complete control over what bills are acted upon."

Rod,
The following is clipped from the actual text of Bill HR 1183, which was
written to please Chairman Pombo re the Farallon issue.
HR 1183 DOES cover KP1 and KP5:
"IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 9, 2005
Mr. RAHALL introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Resources
A BILL
To require the Secretary of the Interior to provide public
access to Navassa National Wildlife Refuge and Desecheo
National Wildlife Refuge."
