                               GENERAL STATEMENT AND BACKGROUND
                    The Morris K. Udall Scholarship and Excellence in National En-
                  vironmental Policy Act of 1992 was signed into law by President
                  Bush on March 19, 1992. The Act established the Morris K. Udall
                  Scholarship and Excellence in National Environmental Policy
                  Foundation (Udall Foundation), so named to honor the career and
                  public service of Morris K. Udall. The Udall Foundation was estab-

                  and fellowships to outstanding students intending to pursue ca-
                  reers in the environment, and internships to outstanding Native
                  Americans and Alaska Native college students intending to pursue
                  careers in health care and tribal public policy; (2) to provide for a
                  panel of experts to meet annually to discuss contemporary environ-
                  mental issues; and (3) to establish a program for environmental
                  policy research and a program for environmental conflict resolu-
                  tion.

                  ronmental dispute resolution, the Udall Foundation lacked the
