                       TRIBUTE TO LESLEY ROBINSON

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, I wish to recognize Lesley 
Robinson, the newly elected member of the Executive Committee of the 
National Association of Counties, NACo, as Montanan of the Week. Mrs. 
Robinson was recognized during NACo's 80th Annual Conference and will 
now act as the regional representative for the western region of the 
United States. Mrs. Robinson will also serve as vice chair of NACo's 
Public Lands Steering Committee, which oversees all matters pertaining 
to federally-owned public lands.
  As a rancher from Dodson, MT, Mrs. Robinson understands the western 
lifestyle and hopes to protect the interests of Montana and other 
western counties while working on the executive committee. Mrs. 
Robinson wants to highlight issues regarding resource management, 
endangered species protection, and wildfire prevention.
  Beyond her work at NACo, Mrs. Robinson is also an active member of 
her community. She works with local organizations like the Bear Paw 
Development Corporation, Phillco Economic Council, Phillips Transit 
Authority and the Joint Powers Trust, and the Montana Stockgrowers 
Association. I am proud to see Montana being represented by women like 
Mrs. Robinson, who have dedicated their lives to improving the 
betterment of Montana and the west for all.
