 Sen. Murkowski's Questions to Barbara Hjelle
Leshy's statement that about 12,000 Title V permits have been issued since FLPMA was enacted has absolutely nothing to do with a fair determination of whether the grant of R.S. was accepted in a particular case sometime between 1866 and 1976.
Leshy's complaints about the burden of proof are ironic when you consider that the Department's proposed regulations would place a significantly greater burden on local governments whose resources cannot possibly meet this demand.
Leshy's interpretation of the 1993 Utah law is unsupported by the language of the legislation itself.

 The Mining Law
Leshy explains how the law has survived by a combination of executive and judicial manipulation in the face of legislative paralysis.
Certainly any future attempts to rewrite or amend the Law will start off with Leshy's exposition and analysis of its origins, operation, and implementation, and his detailed examination of the issues surrounding the law, its interpretation by courts and administrative agencies, and the attempts to adapt the law to changing conditions and social goals.
Assessing the prospect for reform in today's political climate, he suggests arrangements regarding the law's reform that might be concluded by industry, small operators, and environmental protection advocates as well as creative measures that might be taken by Congress, the president, and the courts.

When the leshy is spotted, he can be easily recognized; for, though he often has the appearance of a man, his eyebrows, eyelashes, and right ear are missing, his head is somewhat pointed, and he lacks a hat and belt.

According to Leshy, environmentalists are beginning to wish Bush Interior Secretary was “James Watt in a skirt,” as they had charged at her confirmation, as Norton has been more aggressive and more effective, in many cases reversing long-standing federal policy.
Leshy noted that the Administration has sought few legislative battles and not sought to reopen protected areas outside of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), instead focusing on administrative initiatives and announcing policy changes on Friday afternoons.
Leshy also suggested that some western states are beginning to shift to the left, and this could restrain aggressive new initiatives.

 Update on Crown Jewel Mine Decision
Leshy replied that he was prepared to use land exchanges "specifically to get around this problem." In response to further questioning by Bingaman, Leshy clarified that he expects his opinion to be applied prospectively only and that an effort will be made to "avoid disruption" of current mining projects.
He called Leshy's decision "sound, very sound." He stated that the 1872 Mining Act was not written for open pit mining and does not serve the needs of the industry today.
In sharp contrast to Leshy's testimony, he said that over the past 127 years "not a single case holds that the law was interpreted that way." Because of differences in claim sizes, he argued the "one-to-one rule is really five-to-twenty" and that "the law is not and never was that you get five for twenty."

 leshy, leshy - www.ezboard.com
I also can't seem to locate a coherent description anywhere I've looked; or, rather, a description that doesn't assume I already know what a leshy is. The stuff I've located seems to reference stories about the leshy, but not a clear identification of what the creature is or what it can do.
I always associated the tickling-to-death with Rusalki, and put it in the same category as pulling mortal men into streams to be their lovers, without remembering they wouldn't be able to breathe-- a characteristic careless ignorance of mortality.
And, Kristi, I think that you're spot on; in some stories, the lesh'yi are disappointed because they've broken their "toys." That careless immortality seems to be a cross-cultural marker for immortal beings (I hate to do the "universal folktale" generalization, but it does pop up fairly frequently).

 Missoulian - Norton reinstates mine waste policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Leshy's interpretation of the General Mining Law dramatically reduced the amount of public land the government allowed a mine to use to store toxic waste without obtaining special permission from the Bureau of Land Management.
Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn, a Republican, appealed to Norton in February to rescind the Leshy opinion because of the threat it posed to new mining operations in Nevada, which is 87 percent federal land, most of it managed by the BLM.
"(The Leshy opinion) was designed to make it unworkable and bring people to the table to discuss mining law reform," she said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press.

Cubin criticized Leshy for interpreting the Organic Act of the National Park Service, as amended, "to preclude the Secretary from exercising his discretion to issue prospecting permits to protect a unit of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways 15 miles away" in the Mark Twain National Forest.
Leshy defended Clinton's veto of the Republican supported Mining Law reforms saying the bill was "riddled with exceptions and deductions" and included provisions for a royalty of only 5%.

JOHN LESHY: (The General Mining Law of 1872) was one of the last of the late great 19th century, Western expansion, Manifest Destiny laws, because it basically threw open all the federal lands and said to the miners: "Come and get it for free."

Seizing the advantage, the living spread out and worked quickly, using their swords two-handed to chop and cleave in all directions until the air was finally silent, and the ground was littered with sodden chunks of darkened bone and cloth and twisted metal.

 People For the American Way - I. Myers’ Disregard and Disrespect for Native Americans’ Concerns
Leshy found that, while Congress did not define “unnecessary or undue degradation,” its clear intent was to require the Secretary to refuse not only development that involved “unnecessary” degradation not required for mining, but also “undue” degradation that would cause “substantial irreparable harm” to the public lands.
Leshy’s interpretation of Congress’ intent was later codified in regulations adopted in 2000 by the Department of the Interior, which included in the definition of “unnecessary or undue degradation” activity that would result in “substantial irreparable harm” to the “significant” scientific, cultural, or environmental value of the public lands.
Secretary Norton adopted the Myers opinion, overturning the Leshy opinion, and rescinded the Department’s previous rejection of the Glamis permit, re-opening the application for consideration.
