** FILE ** Representative Richard Pombo, R-Calif., chairs a House Resources Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, in this file photo taken Wednesday, July 9, 2003. Pombo is proposing in a draft budget document to sell off 15 national parks to private buyers and reopen the country's coastline to drilling. But a spokesman said the document is a joke that's meant to show committee members how much worse the alternatives to drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would be.
