H.R. 38 designates the main stem of the Upper White Salmon River and Cascade Creek, totaling 20 miles, as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Congress added the lower White Salmon River to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System in 1986. The White Salmon River originates in the glaciers of Mt. Adams and flows through south central Washington to the Columbia River. The river is known for its remarkable scenery and abundant wildlife and is popular with white water enthusiasts. The gentleman from Washington (Mr. Baird) should be recognized for his leadership on H.R. 38. My good friend, the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Baird), is one of our strong conservation leaders in the Northwest and has worked very hard in showing strong leadership in getting this bill to the point that it is today. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Baird), the sponsor of the bill.
