Quotable Quote:

“The mountain pine beetle, an insect no bigger than a grain of rice, has killed millions of acres of pine trees across the West and continues to spread unabated. The death of those trees threatens the very existence of Western communities and their residents.  While presently most of the mountain pine beetle kill areas are found in Colorado and Wyoming, we should not make the mistake of thinking that the beetle won’t continue to spread, infesting and killing massive numbers of trees in other states throughout the entire West.”

– Subcommittee on Water and Power Chairwoman Grace Napolitano (D-CA), at a June 16, 2009 joint Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands and Subcommittee on Water and Power oversight hearing on “Mountain Pine Beetle: Strategies for Protecting the West.” Visit the Committee’s Web site to access witness testimony, view archived video of the hearing, and read Chairwoman Napolitano’s opening remarks and Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands Chairman Raúl Grijalva’s (D-AZ) opening remarks.
