Your bill helps protect the North Fork of the Flathead River Valley by withdrawing U.S. Forest Service land from future mining and energy development.
I don't think any Senator has worked as hard for good solid balanced legislation as he has.
The North Fork Watershed Protection Act of 2011 is the next and necessary step.
The passage of S. 233 represents a historic opportunity for today's Congress to build upon this historic legacy in its own right.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for that effort, frankly that was a joint Western States effort, helping to get, explain, convince, some of our colleagues in other parts of the country the importance of that legislation.

This bill would bring clean drinking water to communities in east central Montana.
