I have no idea who holds title to the land but Clinton killed two birds with one rock.
#1 Revenge for his 3rd place finish in Utah with only 25% of the vote for president in 1992.
#2 Repaid the Lippo Group for their illegal donations:
In 1996 President Clinton issued an executive order creating the 1.7 million acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah - making the only other known "low sulfur" deposit off limits for commercial mining.
Thus, Lippo obtained control of the world's only low sulfur coal mine.
The son of Lippo founder Moctar Riady, James Riady recently plead guilty for passing illegal donations to the Clinton/Gore political campaigns.
Thanks for giving a much more detailed and intelligently written accounting of the facts! My previous post is all over the place! LOL
