This changed, however, when the U.S. Senate Public Lands Subcomminec held hearings in southcas1cm Utah. On February 7, 1962, in anticipation of those hearings, Senator Moss introduced a revised Canyonlands bill that adjusted the proposed size to 332,000 acres and strived for a balance between 1he park "purists"383 and the ''multiple usc"384 camps in the debate. To placate those who wanted a larger, more protected park, Moss classified mining, grazing, oil exploration, and other uses as secondary to pro1ecting scenery. These "multiple uses" would be allowed in the park only with approval from 1he Secretary of the Interior and based on the requirement that they not seriously mar the landscape. To pacify the mining interests, Moss amended his bill to allow continued exploration and mineral claims filing after the bill became law.
