Reichert Lauds Swift House Passage of Wild Sky

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Reichert (WA-08) made the following statement today upon the passage of the Wild Sky Wilderness legislation in the House:

"I'm pleased to see the Wild Sky legislation pass so quickly out of the House again, following the Senate's unnecessary delay of this important bill. Passage today makes this bill ready for the President's signature, and I will encourage him to quickly sign it into law. After the long fight for this bill, Washingtonians have reason to hope for the addition of more wilderness areas. I hope the excitement surrounding this occasion spurs momentum to move forward with the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Expansion bill."
