ENROLLED JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 1, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

SIXTIETH LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF
WYOMING
2010 BUDGET SESSION

A JOINT RESOLUTION requesting Congress to
oppose House Resolution 980, titled the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act.

WHEREAS,
H.R. 980 was introduced in the United States House of Representatives on February 11, 2009
; and

WHEREAS, H.R. 980 would designate an additional six million five hundred fourteen thousand (6,514,000) acres to the national wilderness system in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, regardless of their unsuitability and failure to meet the wilderness criteria outlined in the 1964 Wilderness Act;
and

WHEREAS, these additions to the National Wilderness System will have tremendous negative impacts to the economies of the counties in which they occur and ultimately to the economy of surrounding counties and the State of
Wyoming
; and

WHEREAS, the continuance of all
multiple
use activities, including motorized recreation, outfitting, grazing, timber harvesting activities and
mineral
development is crucial to the long term economic diversity of all Wyoming counties and the State of Wyoming
; and

WHEREAS, the
Wyoming
congressional delegation, representing a state heavily impacted by the proposed wilderness expansion, is not on record in support of the designation; and

WHEREAS, the United States Congress does not customarily make wilderness designations without first seeking concurrence with the states affected.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF
WYOMING
:

Section 1.

That
the Legislature of the State of Wyoming is adamantly opposed to the
Northern
Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act, H.R. 980, and hereby requests that the United States House of Representative
s
Natural Resources Committee oppose this legislation.

Section 2.

That the Secretary of State of Wyoming transmit copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress and to the Wyoming Congressional Delegation
