To involve the public in an upcoming environmental impact statement, open houses have begun in Idaho, with more meetings set for Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota and Washington, D.C. Call the National Park Service at 307/344-2019 or visit www.nps.gov/yell/winteruseplan.htm for details; send opinions by July 18 to Yellowstone Planning Office, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190.
