Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo., sees it as a destructive way to pay for what
he considers reckless tax cuts. "It's like selling your homestead to pay your credit cards," he said. [Denver Post, 2/8/06]

Included in this land sale are:
A one mile long roadless area in the White River National Forest that
encompasses Elliot Creek about a mile north of the Eagles Nest Wilderness in Summit County. The Colorado sale list extends to lands near Grays and Torreys peaks, a parcel west of Vail ski resort and land around St. Mary's Glacier, a popular snowboarding site.
