	Press Releases December 17, 2003   LIEBERMAN CHEERS SNOWMOBILE RULING A Sense of Peace Begins To Be Restored   WASHINGTON - Governmental Affairs Committee Ranking Member Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., issued the following statement Wednesday in response to the U.S. District Court ruling that will lead to a reduced number of snowmobiles inYellowstone Park: “The roar of engines is for NASCAR not our national parks. This ruling will help restore a sense of tranquility to the contemplative beauty of Yellowstone Park, allowing visitors and the indigenous plant and animal populations to exist undisturbed by the roar of snowmobiles and the haze of formaldehyde in the air. “Unfortunately, the Bush Administration was so busy wasting countless hours and millions of taxpayers’ dollars trying to undo the ban that it failed to plan for more environmental friendly transportation in the park and to help affected businesses adjust. I urge the Park Service to turn its attention to implementing the ban rather than spending more effort trying to undo it. “Mismanagement in the pursuit of a political agenda, and contrary to public sentiment, is never acceptable.”   ###   Printable Version   « previous Press Release next Press Release »   1998 - 1999 - 2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 December 2003 Press Releases November   |    --   2002   |  2004     December 31 - Lieberman Calls on Deputy AG to Give Up Authority to Limit or Interfere with Plame Investigation   December 30 - Lieberman Reaction to Ashcroft Recusal from DOJ Leak Investigation and Appointment of Special Counsel   December 23 - Senators Call For Improved Congressional Website   December 18 - Connecticut to Receive More Than $2.5 Million for Emergency Preparedness   December 18 - Lieberman Discovers Halliburton May Have Ignored Internal Audit Warning of Overcharging   December 17 - Administration Running In Place On Critical Infrastructure   December 17 current Press Release   December 17 - Lieberman Seeks Vulnerability Assessment, Remedies To Current Influenza Outbreak   December 16 - Lieberman Seeks Review of Halliburton’s Fitness To Receive Federal Contracts   December 16 - Homeland Security Still Needs Strategic Plan, Better Cooperation, More Resources   December 12 - Lieberman Renews Call For Halliburton Reimbursement   December 10 - Collins, Lieberman Hail Senate Passage Of D.C.
