 Congratulating Dr. Edgar Wayburn on his 100th birthday and commending 
 his lifelong dedication to preserving our environment for our use and 
                     the use of future generations.

Whereas on September 17, 2006, Dr. Edgar Wayburn celebrated his 100th birthday;
Whereas on October 11, 2006, the Presidio Trust will dedicate a grove of redwood 
        trees in Dr. Wayburn's name to recognize his essential role in 
        protecting ancient redwood forests and his countless contributions to 
        the enhancement and protection of our national parks;
Whereas Dr. Wayburn has been a dedicated physician, ministering to the human 
        condition as well as the condition of our planet;
Whereas Dr. Wayburn, the honorary president-for-life of the Sierra Club, has 
        devoted most of his 100 years to preserving the world's wild areas and 
        enhancing our environment for the benefit of future generations;
Whereas Dr. Wayburn, in coalition with the late Representative Phil Burton, 
        orchestrated the creation of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, a 
        sweeping, majestic greenbelt stretching down the Pacific Coast from 
        Point Reyes Seashore to the Sweeney Ridge;
Whereas Dr. Wayburn, working again very closely with Phil Burton, helped create 
        the first urban national park in the Presidio of San Francisco;
Whereas Dr. Wayburn and his beloved late wife and partner, Peggy, worked to 
        preserve Alaskan public lands as well as the Redwood National Park;
Whereas Dr. Wayburn is a true hero in protecting America's natural heritage, who 
        has saved hundreds of acres of wilderness so our children and 
        grandchildren can explore and enjoy them; and
Whereas Dr. Wayburn's lasting legacy for generations to come will be the 
        magnificent landscapes he has fought to protect in the United States and 
        throughout the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratulates Dr. Edgar 
Wayburn on his 100th birthday and commends his lifelong dedication to 
preserving our environment for our use and the use of future 
generations.
