                    TRIBUTE TO THE LATE ARNOLD BOLLE

                                 ______


                           HON. PAT WILLIAMS

                               of montana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 23, 1994

  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, a few days ago Montana lost a wonderful 
and valued friend with the passing of Arnold Bolle, the former dean of 
the School of Forestry at the University of Montana and one of the 
constant, bright, and guiding lights of Montana's and America's 
conservation ethic.
  Arnold Bolle's remarkable career spanned more than 40 years, first 
with the Soil and Conservation Service, then as a faculty member of the 
UM forestry school and later as its distinguished dean. His advice and 
expertise on public lands management was widely sought from the 
Department of the Interior to the Congress.
  Most of all, he loved Montana and especially Montana's forests. Their 
magic and mystery never dimmed for him. He understood and taught us all 
the wisdom and practicality of careful stewardship of our lands, not 
just for our generation but for those that will follow us. He imparted 
that knowledge to students and citizens alike, and we all benefited 
from his tireless efforts. Mr. Speaker, Montana and the Nation will 
miss Arnold Bolle.
