  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I would also like to recognize one of 
America's greatest conservation writers, Rocky Barker of the Idaho 
Statesman. Rocky has provided unparalleled depth and insight to the 
readers of Idaho and the United States throughout the 15 years I have 
been working on CIEDRA and SNRA+. He has hiked throughout these 
mountains and understands every nuance and aspect of the area and this 
bill. I want to thank him for covering this story fairly and accurately 
all of these years. I also want to thank former Blaine County 
Commissioner Tom Bowman for all of the great help he has provided. 
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
