Introduced in House (02/16/2000)

Declares that the President violated the good faith of Congress and ignored or disregarded the concerns and objections of citizen stakeholders and State and local governments by declaring the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, the Agua Fria National Monument, and the California Coastal National Monument, and expanding the Pinnacles National Monument on January 12, 2000.

Calls upon the President and the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) disclose immediately to the public any plans for additional national monument declarations; and (2) seek formal input from all stakeholders, State and local governments, and Congress before declaring any national monument, including the Sequoia National Monument, in a manner that is consistent with H.R. 1487 (national monument declarations) as passed by the House of Representatives and reported favorably by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources in the106th Congress.
