Clinton’s EO 13061, the American Heritage Rivers Initiative issued September 11, 1997, purported to give the President the power to take over 10 rivers a year. This EO on Rivers takes governing authority away from states and localities, and threatens private property rights guaranteed by the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
Clinton’s Grand Escalante Grab of 1.7 million acres of Utah land for a national park in 1996 included a trillion dollars worth of clean-burning, low-sulfur hard coal.
I also found this blurb in google:
[Note that Lippo was a front company for Chinese intelligence which also benefitted from the multi-billion dollar Escalante hard coal scandal].

According to William Safire, Lippo’s ties to Jack Stephens enabled them to receive sensitive trade secrets http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a66185.htm from out of the Clinton Administration through Lippo employee, John Huang*, who also worked in the U.S. Department of Commerce as a Clinton employee. The kicker was that Huang would go across the street from his Commerce office to use a Stephens Inc. business office as a “drop” http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a1004986.htm to receive and send documents and make off the record phone calls. “At informative Thompson committee hearings last week, we learned that Huang, Lippo’s man at Clinton Commerce, received a call on the average of twice a week from a secretary at the Stephens drop who was instructed not to leave her boss’s name. Huang would then cross the street to pick up and send express packages and use the Stephens phone. We know that Huang spoke to former Lippo associates at least 237 times in his 14 months at his sensitive trade post. ‘That number troubles me’ said Senator Joseph Lieberman.
