                      THE PASSING OF SETH DIAMOND

 Mr. KEMPTHORNE. Mr. President, today I note the loss of a 
talented young man who's contributions to timber, wildlife, and natural 
resource management will be sorely missed in may home State of Idaho.
  Mr. Seth Diamond was not from Idaho, but he was a strong advocate for 
balanced management of our natural resources, and the people of my 
State benefited from his thoughtful contributions to the debate over 
land and wildlife resource management.
  Mr. Diamond was a skilled, experienced wildlife biologist. He studied 
at Duke University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State 
University before putting his interests in biology and wildlife 
management to work for the Forest Service. His later work with 
innovative management programs on the Lewis and Clark National Forest 
earned him recognition from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
  The people of Idaho were among those who were lucky that Seth chose 
to apply his skills help us find the solutions that will protect 
wildlife and ensure sustainable timber harvest into the future on 
Federal lands. His energy and dedication will be missed.
