                LEAVE GRAY WOLF MANAGEMENT TO MONTANANS

  (Mr. REHBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. REHBERG. Everyone has heard the story about the three little pigs 
and the wolf that huffs and puffs his way through a house made of straw 
and a house made of wood. Montanans face a similar situation with the 
status of the Rocky Mountain gray wolf as an endangered species. The 
science says that the gray wolf is no longer endangered in Montana and 
Idaho. The targets set by the Endangered Species Act were surpassed 
years ago. But powerful out-of-State interests have huffed and puffed 
and used all sorts of dirty tricks and gotten the gray wolf relisted 
for the second time over the recommendation of the Obama and Bush 
administrations.
  In the story, the three little pigs find shelter in a house made of 
stone. If that's what it takes, a legislative solution, that's what 
we'll do.
  I've heard from more than 1,000 people in the last few days who've 
weighed in on a legislative solution, and it's time to start building 
that stone house.
