Down Strict State Oil Tanker Standards 
WASHINGTON, DC, March 7, 2000 (ENS) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously
Monday that states may not set safety and environmental standards for oil
tankers that conflict with or supplement federal regulations. The court said
the need for uniform federal regulations outweighs the states’ interest in
protecting their shores from oil spills.

Development Under New Rules 
By Cat Lazaroff
WASHINGTON, DC, March 7, 2000 (ENS) - New rules released Monday will
drastically
curtail the development of small wetlands across the United States. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers announced major revisions to its nationwide permit
program designed to protect thousands of acres of wetlands by making it far
more difficult to build anything near streams and marshes.

WASHINGTON, DC, March 7, 2000 (ENS) - Eating "organic" could take on

meaning if new regulations announced today take effect. The rules, proposed by

standards for organic meat, poultry, produce and processed foods.

become
    the world's best known tree-sitter for her two year vigil high atop a
    California redwood, was verbally attacked Saturday night onstage during
her
    keynote address to a conference of lawyers and activists. She was
    describing her ordeal, the longest tree-sit in history, when a woman
    charged the stage scolding Hill for giving money to Pacific Lumber Company
    to keep the tree from being logged.
