Republican control of the new U.S. Senate has also increased the influence of such fellow "rebels" as Paul Laxalt of Nevada and Jake Garn and Orrin Hatch of Utah. Sagebrush Rebellion leaders now plan to concentrate their battle for control of the federal lands in Congress, where both Hatch and Nevada's Democratic Representative Jim Santini have introduced bills that would set up a commission to establish an "orderly process" for transferring land to the states. Though they have little
Only a day earlier, conservatives from both sides of the Senate floor helped strangle an effort to strengthen the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Led by Sens. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) and Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), the conservatives survived a cloture vote needed to end their filibuster, and left liberals sputtering that it may be years before an effective fair housing bill is approved...
...Amour has also written a dozen volumes about the Chantrys and the Talons, two other hard-riding families linked to the Sacketts by marriage. The latest L'Amour western omelet is highly seasoned and full of natural ingredients: the proud, individualistic Sackett brothers, Tell, Orrin and Tyrel, drive a herd from Colorado to Canada, answering an urgent call for help from Cousin Logan.

Hatch is determined to push his ideas...
Idaho. Frank Church, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was the No. 1 target of the Republicans. One after another, the big G.O.P. guns-Reagan, Gerald Ford, Senator Orrin Hatch-came to Idaho to fire away at the Senator. For more than a year, conservatives belonging to A.B.C. (Anybody But Church) had been sniping at him. Thrown on the defensive, Church, 56, had to spend most of his time explaining himself. In the end, Idahoans were unpersuaded and rejected him in favor of Republican Congressman Steven Symms...
