Various issues regarding monuments have generated both controversy
and lawsuits. Issues include the size of the areas and types of
resources protected, the inclusion of non-federal lands within
monument boundaries, restrictions on land uses that may result, the
manner in which the monuments were created, the selection of the
managing agency, and other legal issues. Courts have upheld both
particular monuments and the President's authority to create them.
This book addresses the authority of the President to create
national monuments on federal lands under the Antiquities Act of
1906. It discusses the benefits of the Act and those aspects of the
Act that have been controversial, including the size and types of
resources protected; the level of and types of threat to designated
areas; effects of proclamations on land uses; consistency of the
Act with the withdrawal, public participation, and environmental
review aspects of other laws; monument management by agencies other
than the National Park Service (NPS); and the constitutionality of
the Act. Contents: Preface; National Monuments and the Antiquities
Act; Recent Designations and Issues; Authority of a President to
