                        IN HONOR OF JIM POSEWITZ

 Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, today I rise to commend Jim 
Posewitz, one of Montana's leading conservationists, on his outstanding 
work and dedication to the environment.
  Jim retired July 30, of last year, after working for 32 years as a 
biologist for the State Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, 
including 15 years as head of its ecological program.
  His efforts have helped Montana maintain its incredible natural 
beauty and have allowed Americans to enjoy the recreational 
opportunities it offers. It is through efforts from people like this 
that Montana is truly ``The Last Best Place.''
  Although Jim has retired from State government, he still contributes 
his skill and knowledge working on conservation and wildlife projects. 
Such tireless dedication to a worthy cause underlines his commitment to 
the environment and to making this world a better place to live.
  Recently, the Montana Wildlife Federation's board of directors 
rewarded Jim's efforts by establishing an endowment in his name. The 
earnings from this endowment will go to advocate policies that lead to 
the preservation of wildlife and habitat for future generations.
  Such an honor could not go to a more dedicated, deserving and 
accomplished person. I congratulate Jim on his retirement and I wish 
him success in his future endeavors.
