New York Times editorial evaluates the Bush administration's commitment to national park system.
"Money, in fact, is only one measure of Mr. Bush's commitment [to national parks]. A truer test is whether he and by extension Ms. Norton are genuinely committed to the values that animated the founders of the national park system...One distressing example is the administration's sneaky effort to reverse a Clinton rule phasing out snowmobiles from Yellowstone National Park a rule buttressed by overwhelming public approval and years of conscientious science... The larger point about the snowmobile issue is that it reflects a commercial bias that really has no place in federal policy regarding the parks."
