Comment Of Sen. Patrick Leahy
On House Plans To Vote Monday
On The New England Wilderness Act
November 10, 2006
“The on-and-off progress that has
slowed this bill is on again. I am hopeful that we can get the New
England Wilderness Act to the President’s desk without further
delay.
“This is a week that has begun to melt
some of the glacial pace that has prevented Congress from acting on
many issues that are important to Vermonters and the nation, and
final passage of this bill may offer some of the first proof of that
change.”
