their waters to three different oceans. These waters 
are of tremendous economic importance to farming 
and ranching operations, municipal water supplies, 
and water-based recreation, including fishing and 
boating. Protection of this world class water re-
source will enhance these uses, reduce costs for 
water treatment and irrigation, and increase native 
fish populations. 
(5) The wildlife treasures of the Northern 
Rockies are of international significance and contain 
remarkably intact large mammalian fauna and rare 
and unique plant life. Wildlife habitat fragmentation 
due to roadbuilding, timber harvest, mining, oil and 
gas exploration, lack of interagency cooperation, and 
other activities has severe effects on the wildlife pop-
ulations (including those listed as threatened or en-
dangered under section 4(c) of the Endangered Spe-
cies Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(c))) and their 
habitat, the water quality, the ancient forests, and 
the greater ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bio-
region. The overemphasis on resource extraction 
from National Forest System lands and public lands 
administered by the Bureau of Land Management 
has compromised ecosystem integrity and detracted 
from economic diversification opportunities. Eco-

nomic instability and high unemployment in rural, 
resource-dependent communities is a common result 
of overexploitation of these lands. 
(6) Continued fragmentation and development 
of the remaining roadless and essentially roadless 
ecosystems and biological connectors of the Northern 
Rockies would cause a loss to the Nation of an en-
tire wild land region and of the only remaining areas 
south of Canada still pristine enough to support 
populations of caribou, gray wolves, grizzly bears, 
anadromous fish, and numerous other rare and en-
dangered plant and animal life all in one intact bio-
region. 
(7) Since the 1936 roadless area inventory com-
pleted by Bob Marshall, millions of acres of roadless 
wild lands have been developed in the Northern 
Rockies. Extensive fragmentation of wild lands and 
wildlife habitat has resulted in the listing of several 
species as threatened or endangered and reduced the 
numbers and range of many others, including anad-
romous fish. 
(8) The natural ecosystems of the Northern 
Rockies Bioregion also serve as educational and re-
search centers for on-site studies in biology, geology, 
astronomy and other sciences. The pristine nature of

Honoring the men and women of the United States Customs Service, 6
World Trade Center offices, for their hard work, commitment, and com-

World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. ISTOOK (for himself, Mr. HOYER, Mr. YOUNG of Florida, Mr. OBEY, Mr.
WOLF, Mr. VISCLOSKY, Mrs. MEEK of Florida, Mr. TIAHRT, Mr. PRICE

RESOLUTION
Honoring the men and women of the United States Customs
Service, 6 World Trade Center offices, for their hard
work, commitment, and compassion during and imme-
diately following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade
Center on September 11, 2001.
Whereas the United States Customs Service offices located in
6 World Trade Center were destroyed on September 11,
2001, as a result of terrorist attacks;
Whereas the men and women of the United States Customs
Service in 6 World Trade Center selflessly, and at great
risk, ensured no one was left behind in the imperiled
the National Forest System lands, National Park 
System lands, and public lands administered by the 
Bureau of Land Management in the Northern Rock-
ies Bioregion helps local communities attract new 
residents and businesses based on local quality of 
life. 
(9) A review of the current situation in the 
Northern Rockies has revealed the urgent need for 
an ecological reserve system for the Northern Rock-
ies Bioregion, which includes core ecosystem reserve 
areas and biological connecting corridors necessary 
to ensure wildlife movements and genetic inter-
change between the core reserve areas. 
(10) The economic value to the Nation of most 
of these undeveloped areas, left in their natural 
state, greatly exceeds any potential return to the 
Treasury of the United States from timber harvest 
and development. If current Federal land manage-
ment in the Northern Rockies continues to result in 
the development of roadless areas, the American 
public will be using its tax dollars to fund perma-
nent reductions in wilderness, water quality, fish and 
wildlife habitat, and species and biological diversity. 
(11) Instead, this Act provides opportunities for 
employment in outdoor trades by establishing reha-
